I purchased these paints at a local store for half the price they are on Amazon. At that price, they're a good deal.
Once your child has used them, you'll see that there isn't as much paint in each little cup as it seems. This set is good for about 3-4 uses, at most. The more popular colors may only last for 1-2 uses and the less popular, longer. The set also includes a paintbrush. For under two dollars, I'd say that's worth it, though.
One last thing these paints are "washable" but that's a very broad term. I find they come out of clothes just fine when washed relatively soon after the paint gets on them. My kids' skin is less forgiving. I find if they take a bath, the paints will come off, but if I try to use a baby wipe, some color will remain on their hands and faces, no matter how much I wipe them.I tried these when the store was out of the Crayola watercolors we always buy. The colors are very weak in comparison no matter how well you saturate your brush. But worse than that is the smell these make, I mean they really STINK. I would have been happy to let the kids finish up these paints because they love watercolrs and paint almost every day but I couldn't stand the smell and had to toss them.
