It's a great IDEA, but they didnt really hit the nail on the head. The paint doesnt stick to the stamps, so you sort of get colored watery blobs wherever you attempt to make a stamp. It might work better if my kids didnt get so much water in it, but it IS a bath toy, right? My kids also wanted to basically use ALL the paints - like in ONE bath! My one daughter did get a little irritation on her bottom, but there was a LOT of paint in their bath! I also have no idea where to get refills of just paint? Since our paint is gone, we now have stamps and brushes with no purpose. I probably Will end up buying more though.

I think those other reviews are seriously for some other product. This item was NOT a make-it-yourself bath sachet kit??? And you definitely would not have girls at a slumber party all taking a bath together! Definitely wrong item.

I was very disappointed with the quality of this product. I had to request a second kit because the scented oils bottles were empty in the first kit. The second kit also had the same problem. Both kits had to be returned. It is difficult to determine how fun this kit would be when it is missing items within the kit.

Bath time is my son's favorite part of the day. This product actully made him throw a tantrum because he was so frustrated. Something I've never seen during bath time or art time! Basically the paint doesn't adhere to any surface that is wet. The sponges work if the parent carfully applies the paint straight from the tube and the presses it on part of the bath that hasn't gotten wet. However, my three year old son could only get a blob of color if anything at all. I would take this product back, but it was given to us by a family member. I think I'm going to put it in the arts and crafts area away from the bath. I'm sure it will work better away from the water. This is the first review I've ever written. I wanted to share my experience so others can save thier money.

This product is absolutely useless. The "Paint" is so thin it does not work as advertised. You cannot write with it on the body or the walls. Complete waste of money.

I painted with my two year old son and he had a great time painting his tummy and legs and the bathtub. When it was time to get out of the tub I could wash off the bubbles off my son but not the color. My son is now green. Lovely. It did come off of the marble for which I'm extremely grateful.

As for the product, don't get the sponges in the bath water and the paint sticks much better. I would not recommend this for anyone whose child wants to paint masterpieces, but just for rolling and making a mess, it's wonderful. Well, wonderful as long as picture day isn't coming up.

There is very little paint in each bottle so the whole set could easily be used in one bathtub time. If the brushes or stamps are wet at all, the paint does not work. Not sure how to keep the brushes and stamps from getting wet in the bathtub!!!!! AND the paint does not easily wash off....at least it didn't in my tub. I would DEFINITELY not use this in a tub with tile and grout...what a nightmare!
This is a good idea in theory, but this product needs a lot of work!!!!

Had bought the finger painting set from Alex and loved. But this was a hug disapointment. The paints neither brushed nor sponged well (or rolled). The fish holder tipped easily and I ended up with paint all over the floor. Easy clean up, but not being able to use the holder as intended took a lot of the fun out the toy. And the sponges on the stamps,brush and roller wore out and started falling apart within 3 or 4 tubbies.

Would skip this one and buy the finger paint set.

My 5 yr old loved getting this. It looks so cool. But when you take it out of the box the disappointment starts. The paints are runny and diluted. The roller is fun but you cant discern any of the 'masterpieces' because the colors dont adhere to the wall and only run down like drips of colored water. And the foam 'stamps' are a joke. You have to be very delicate to get any sort of picture from them and whose 5 yr old can be delicate? Not mine. She was almost in tears when all she could produce was colored blobs and not the pretty shapes the stamp promised.
I will not buy this again. My little artist was better off with the soap crayons.

Here's the item description from another site:

I don't see anything about scents so I'm not understanding the first two reviews. If it were just one I'd say it was for the wrong product, but two?

I recently purchased two of these kits for my 7 year old daughter and her friend to make during a girl's night sleep-over. I wanted them to have something to do that would be creative and that they could keep. They both had a lot of fun adding the color and making their own bath satches that they could keep or give away. They actually felt that the added scents were too strong and decided to not use them, as the sea salts have their own scent. They had a great time, and they thought that I had invested a great deal of money in this since they each got their own box. This turned out to be a fun project for a minimal price!
