this is my 18 month playing playing with this product. By watchin the video you can tell she is having a lot of fun. yea she don't put it on the paper the best and she gets a little bit too much on her fingers, but i think the ~ten dollars is worth the half hour or more of play time and the learning she gets out of drawing, and just having fun.

My daughter is 2 1/2 and loves to draw. When i found the color wonder finger paints she was sooo excited! the finger paints are clear then change color when it hits the special paper. But the paint is like a gel and she puts WAY to much on her finger that it just glops on the paper..and of course there are no refills for this pack so u have to spend another $[...] for more....it was good for all of 10 mins then she ran out of paint :( not a happy camper

I have tried several of the color wonder products with my 2 year old son. I do like that they only work on the special paper so they are safe to use indoors without much worry. I was not too thrilled with this paint though. You get very little paint for the price you pay, and it's a weird consistancy, almost like hair gel. My son also had a hard time figuring out which color paint was in each container, since you have to push the lid down to see the top of it. I think he wasted more paint than he put on the paper. I also didn't think that the finger cleaning sponge worked very well.
I will not buy this product again. I would rather just use regular finger paints outside.

I was very optimistic about this product. Fingerpainting without the mess--yippee! However, the other reviewers are right: there's not enough paint. Even when I was 'helping' I found it hard to gauge how much I had because it was clear.

Also, in my package, the color never really developed vividly on the paper. It was slow to develop and when it did, it was very light.

I called Crayola to complain and they are sending me a coupon for the purchase price. Thanks Crayola.

I was excited when I found this, because my two year old LOVES to paint, but it's so messy! There isn't much paint in the tubs, and the consistency is a thick gel. It's hard for little ones to only use a little paint, so they end up globbing the whole tub onto the paper! My other complaints are that the paint takes forever to dry and the colors don't show up instantly. It's okay, but not worth the money in my opinion.

My super messy kids love this stuff. I keep it in a drawer that they can access any time. It usually comes out on rainy days when they aren't allowed outside to play with real finger paints. Yes, the stuff is greasy, goopy, and takes a bit to show up on the paper. You also can't really tell what color is on your hand. But it's mess free, pretty cheap, and fun! A great option if you don't want to do deal with the clean up.

My 4 yr old is very artistic and i was excited to get this for her. The colors are not very bright, takes too long to show up, and is too goopy. You end up with globs of paint on the paper, unless you are very careful (and most kids are not careful). She was ready to put it away after about 5 min. what a waste of money!

I was delighted with this product. It is completely mess free and the perfect way for my girls (aged 2 and 4) to spend a cold winters day indoors. The fact that they handled the gel-like paint with their hands gave an added and educational sensory experience and added to the fun. The fact that the paint is clear and immediately results in the desired colour on the special paper is pure science that (apart from the obvious educational benefit) is great for a mom struggling to work through loads of laundry. The paper is strong and the paint dried into beautiful, soft pastel colours. We also used the paint to make their little hand prints on the paper. It came out so beautifully and I thought that this might be a great idea for making hand and foot print keepsakes for small babies too. Especially since the paint is mess free and non-toxic.

Overall a great product that even kept my 2-year old happily occupied for a morning of fun. They also had a little bit of paint left at the end of the session!

This seems like a really great idea for a product, and I was excited to get it for my 3-year old daughter. My main complaint is that the paint takes too long to actually show up as a color. As she spread the paint onto the paper, it took a while (sometimes up to 30 seconds or more) for the paint to actually turn whatever color it was supposed to be. So, my daughter couldn't tell where she had painted (because it starts out clear). Also, the little pad to wipe your fingers on does not really clean the fingers off, so the color pots end up getting sort of mixed. All in all, it's a great idea, and is definitely a non-messy way to paint, but it just isn't that great for kids to paint with since they can't see their lines/strokes of paint.

I purchased this for my almost 4 year old knowing we were going to be having a winter storm and would be stuck in the house for at least 2 days. She had a blast for about half an hour... and then ran out of paint (and only created 3 paintings). It is a great fun product, but comes with very little paint that comes out of the pot in globs so she used it up very quickly. Guess it's back to legos until the ice clears out. My opinion, fun, but a ten dollar product should give you more than 30 minutes of entertainment.
