Product Description

A beautiful baby deserves a beautiful belly.

It's the hottest fashion statement around among young, hip moms-to-be, and a cool new way to say, "I'm pregnant and proud!" This fun kit contains everything an expectant mother needs to make her belly the talk of the town, including six pots of body paints, two brushes, stencils, a two-sided stamp, and a sheet of colorful temporary tattoos. The instructional book offers creative ideas for themes and designs, suggests ways to involve family and loved ones in the decorating activities, and shares entertaining stories and photos from belly-painting moms across the country.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, lame execution, December 1, 2006
The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because it inspired me. It was a cute gift from my mom, but the paint colors are AWFUL. The brush it comes with is WAY too stiff. The stencils pictured on the box are not the ones it comes with. They could've used the book to SHOW designs rather than name ideas, but they didn't. I agree with the first poster. Go out and buy your own body paints and brushes and do it yourself. There is no white or black!? How can you mix pink?? Lavendar?? Soft pastel colors?? Come on makers... put some effort into your product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!, October 17, 2005
This "kit" was a complete waste of money. The book included is completely ridiculous, and really doesn't offer *any* great ideas that a group of women couldn't come up with on their own (for example, their list of themes includes "America," "Baby's Name," "Curtains" (what?), and "Emoticons"). In addition, the four colors of paint (blue, green, yellow, red) do not allow for a great deal of creativity, not to mention the fact that the paint was so dry that it was essentially impossible to use. I'm glad I purchased additional body paint (white, black, and gold) from a costume shop; without it, we wouldn't have been able to do this project. The stencils were also pretty pointless; they are made of hard plastic, which would be difficult to contour to a pregnant belly if you decided to use one. We came up with our own design (Tree of Life) and it turned out much more beautiful than any of their samples. Bottom line: Don't waste your money!!! Go buy some body paint at a costume shop and come up with your own idea!
