This is finger paint and simply that. Our twenty month old loves to paint and he loves getting his hand into these paints. They work great and clean up is easy. He got some on the wall and it came right offeven after it dried. Not only that, it was red paint which stains everything. Came right up. When we run out we'll be buying some more!

This is a great improvement over Crayola's old finger paint.
Pros:
Easy to dispense (nice soft tubes)
Good color selection
Comes off skin and clothes easily with soap and water
Cons:
like all finger paint the colors are a little transparent so mixing the colors doesn't always work (i.e. red + blue doesn't really make something that looks like purple)
All in all, my favorite fingerpaint!

All of the other 'washable' crayola products have come off everything easily. My daughter's favorites are by far the fingerpaints. However, they have stained several items of clothes despite prompt washing.

It's funny how the smallest things make the difference: a squeeze top bottle! This set of four colors are stored in squeezable containers with squeeze tops. Super easy to distribute and control. Much better than the 10 color set that Crayola makes, where you can't get the paint out without a mess. And the gravity feed style of these means you aren't scraping the bottom of a jar trying to get paint out.
The colors are lively, the blend well, and it all washes up well. It doesn't say so on the box, but these dried quickly, much faster than other products. And they had a thickness to them that left the finished artwork with a bit of texture and depth...definitely not flat. A nice effect!
As with anything that says "washable", remember that it's possible for them to stain clothing. And carpet. I would definitely buy this again and wish they had even more colors to choose from.
One suggestion for more fun: other than fingers, I gave my son some old makeup brushes, specifically the bigger blush and foundation brushes. Not only were they free, but they gave a neat effect on his pictures and the bristles didn't fall out like cheap brushes. They washed up well and can be reused. AND, ta-da, they seemed to fit his hands better since they were shorter than most!

These paints have a really bad chemical smell to them. It was so strong that my 3 year old tried to paint one-handed, using his other hand to pinch his nose closed. He eventually gave up painting because the smell was making him sick. I didn't notice the smell until I was cleaning up, but then I could totally understand why he didn't want to paint. I threw the paints away after one use.
