The box I received was poorly packaged and half destroyed. Many of the paint bottles are dented, dusty and scuffed. Additionally, I received only 8 different colors. In my package, there were 2 peaches, 2 greens, 2 oranges and 2 pink. Missing from the box are red, blue, turquoise and white. Missing two of the primary colors means that I can't even mix the paints I have to get the colors I'm missing.
I read through the other customer reviews before purchasing and this issue wasn't there. Based off the photo and description, I believed that I would be receiving 12 different colors.
I'm frustrated because this is not the quality I've grown to expect from Amazon.

My bad. I was thinking this was comparable to Crayola's tempera paint, which IS washable. The paint is great, nice colors, but we got a little on clothing and can't get it out completely. I'd still recommend this paint, just be sure your little one wears a smock.Best Deals for Prang Ready-to-Use Tempera Paint, 16-Oz., 12-Pack of Assorted
My 1 year old son has really enjoyed these paints. What a great variety of vibrant colors. Perfect for finger painting. He gets the paint all over his hands, arms, face and hair and it washes right off. I will absolutely be purchasing another set when these run out.Honest reviews on Prang Ready-to-Use Tempera Paint, 16-Oz., 12-Pack of Assorted
My ten year old daughter received an art easel (one of those with a roll of paper attached, and a white board on the other side) for Christmas from her grandparents. Within a couple of hours, she had gone through the paints that came with it. A trip to the dollar store and buying out the stock of watercolors they had was in order. Those were gone within 2 days. Obviously this painter was going to need a bigger supply. However, looking through the Hobby Lobby's, Wal Marts, and other craft stores, finding tempra paints was not that easy, plus if you could find any at all, they carried maybe one or two colors, 8 to 10 ounces (at even that was hard to find) and they wanted $4 or $5 for what they did have.Not wanting to get bent at the register, I decided to look on Amazon to see what kind of options there were. Prang to the rescue! 12, 16-ounce bottles, a wide assortment of colors (so that means less mixing the primary's to MAKE the different colors) which was a thrill to my young Grant Wood wanna-be. And for the price? Translated to about $2.50 a bottle, compared to twice that for half as much.
She has used some of the paint, but clearly this is going to last her a while. With the summer soon upon us and nice weather in the Midwest, she is starting to focus more on the pool and other outdoor activities... but as soon as the weather is bad or cold again, I am sure she will be right back at the paints. I will come back and let you know how well the paints last over time, to give an indication of shelf life.
But this is a good buy for your little artist!
