Jar Melo Water Marbling Paint Kit, 6 Colors, Arts and Crafts for Kids Age 3+, Non-Toxic Creative Arts Kits for Girls Boys Gift

Great little kit - we bought the 6 ink colour kit with 10 paper sheets. It was easy to use - my kids aged 7/8 managed to get some good results. The colours are bright and mix well. There are a couple of tools in the box but we also used combs and forks to make patterns. Just a fyi - as other people have mentioned - make the water solution the night before. Use hot water and sprinkle the correct amount of powder in the water while mixing it to make sure there are no lumps. We used a hand whisk very gently to make sure it all mixed up and dissolved properly. The mixure when cooled feels like a very slightly thickened liquid and is completely clear. There is plenty inks and powder left to make more after the initial 10. I am going to use watercolour paper that I have and cut to size for their next project.

I bought this for my 7 year old, and it was by far his favorite Christmas gift. His two older brothers, neither of whom are normally into art, have also enjoyed using it.It is easy to use (my 7 year old can do all but mix the water himself) and the results look great. There is enough dye and mixing agent to make a **lot** of art. Construction paper and printer paper also work when the sample paper runs out.Many reviewers said that it was impossible to mix the thickening agent into the water, but I didn't find it hard at all. Yes, it will tend to clump together, but I just used a spoon to mash the clumps. I'm not patient enough to get the consistency perfect, but having a few lumps doesn't seem to affect the art quality.

It was fun and creative beautiful and pieces but a little messy.

Bought this for my son for his 6th birthday. He really liked it. It was easy to do, he liked mixing the colors and the paints dry really bright! I liked that it has everything you need and wasn’t too messy. We did a few papers and saved the rest for another time. It does take some patience to do. It was hard mixing up the water and carrageenan, took awhile. Overall very happy with this set!

My son and I both had a wonderful time with this kit. We only wished there were more supplies included because we have used everything up! We used the paper first and cut some of our own which worked fine. The colors turn out quite vivid and the kit is easy to use. We have been enjoying using it to make greeting cards.

I bought this for a 9 year old. Preparation of the solution does requie a little adult help the first time. Applying the paints, mixing and pulling off the print is easy to do without adult supervision. It is possible to buy extra paper from other places, and make more prints. We used most of the paper with the first batch of solution in the tray.

The poder is lumpy and hard to melt and the 10 papres that come with is just not enoguh...i dont reccomend this one

My granddaughter and I had such a wonderful time making pictures it's a great idea for kids.. Just make sure you mix the liquid A-day in advance so it has plenty of time to become thick enough to prevent the paint from bleeding Make sure you read the directions. I would definitely buy this again
