I wanted to love them but I didn't. I gave them three stars simply because they are an eco-friendly product. I am usually more tolerant with natural products so just rating performance, ease of use and price (compared to traditional paint) I would give them 1 star.
I know "clean paints" is an oxymoron, but these were extra messy. The packets are not resealable, so paint powder spilled everywhere. Mixing them is an annoying step when you have an eager toddler. Even if you mix them to be thick, they are like watercolors very transparent. On the positive side, they smelled great and didn't really stain my daughter's hands. Everything washed up easily for me. I wouldn't recommend them. The company has the right idea with green paints, but needs to rethink the execution.

I absolutely love everything about these paints! They came with cups to mix the paints in and two small, wooden-handled brushes. I mixed the paint according to package instructions and the result was a gel-like consistency. It doesn't spill even if the cup is turned completely upside downperfect for my two-year-old artist. More water can be added for a looser consistency if desired. These paints smell amazing, like fresh fruits and herbs. It didn't seem like much paint powder when I first opened it, but a little goes a long way and has lasted months of regular use because I only mix up 2 to 3 colors at a time. Leftover paint can be stored in the fridge. I would highly recommend this product and will purchase again when we run out.

These make a fun gift because they are made from fruits and veggies. So it appeals to green parents, mainstream parents and anyone who falls in between. However, are they really the greatest paints. Absolutely not. But do kids really care? Absolutely not.
Honest reviews on Glob All Natural Paint Kits
My kids (4 and 8 years old) loved mixing, smelling and painting with these paints. The one caveat is that the texture is close to traditional watercolor paints and therefore not even close to the thick, opaque quality of the tempera paints many kids are used to. I bought these along with the Original Natural Edible Finger Paint Made with Organic Ingredients 5 Pc Set. The Glob paints mixed much better, much more like traditional watercolors while the "Edible" finger paint never really came together. No matter how much we mixed it, it was still clear water with colored sand and after a few days it smelled like rotten vegetables. The Glob paints smell fantastic!

The containers that come with the set are a bit flimsy, so you have to be careful that the covers don't break. However, I love that not too much plastic was used in making them. Colors are wonderful, we've found that you have to use a bit more purple then the other colors. Smell is amazing!
