Prang Ready-to-Use Tempera Paint, Assorted Colors, 16 Oz., 12 Count

Love all the vibrant colors. 2 yr old twins love it. Paint is non-toxic, thick for non spills, thick enough to be a finger paint, and goes a very long way. We 1st went with the crayola washable finger paint and went through that very very quickly. The 12 pack ready to use tempura paint is worth the money and will last them both a very very long time. It's not advertised as washable, but it does wash off skin easily with soap and water and washes off hard surfaces as most washable paints do, but it does stain bright white items (stained a white food to-go container I used as their paint pallets, but I don't care). It's paint, so let the kids paint wearing clothes you don't care about and in an area you don't mind getting messy. I put my twins in the shower and taped up large coloring pages on the walls. Very easy clean.

This is our second order of these massive bottles of tempura paint. They last a couple of years after you open them and have served us well. Compared to buying paint at Michaels or whatever the cost savings is like 80%. The paint washes off skin reasonably easily so it can be used as finger paint but you will need to do a bit of scrubbing - I wouldn't recommend using it as finger paint for babies or any kid that is likely to try to eat paint. We have painted volcanos for school projects, giant murals, etc and it sticks to paper mache, cardboard, and posterboard well. Buy this as a gift for families with kids and they will love it.

This kit comes with twelve huge bottles of tempura paints in twelve separate colors.The paint is ASTM safe for kids, and there is enough for a whole classroom of kids or a houseful of grandbabies.We love these paints.For the younger ones there are enough base colors to paint almost anything right out of the box from flowers to pets to gra-pa-pa.For the older, more artistically inclined artists, these paints blend smoothly to create any hue and saturation of color you need to paint your masterpiece. (All of the grandbabies' paintings are masterpieces in the Reasonable Reviewer home and hung with pride on the frig.)This paint is easy to clean up with water, even after it dries, and with the little artists there will be accidents.As an added benefit, gra-pa-pa showed the youngsters how to create a layered scene on the windows with these tempera paints. Cool trick!All in all, whether you are a teacher, a parent, or really anyone who needs a safe, fun paint, this kit is a great choice!

Very nice kit of paints for a reasonable price. It's helping to keep the kids busy while we're all trapped at home. They wash up pretty easily although the color can persist on some surfaces.

A couple of the bottles had damaged seals. None of them actually spilled in the box, but they were crusty around the tops. A few of the paints are thicker and clumpier than they should be, but I've been able to use a little water to correct the consistency. I homeschool 2 children and always look for bargain priced school materials. For me, the price was low enough that the quality issues were acceptable.

This single set of paint took my daughter from age 2.5 to 4. I should mention she and her friends are prolific painters, and do not use the paint sparingly. This is great paint for a toddler, and I just re-ordered after nearly 2 years because we've finally run out of some colors. I bought this along with the paint cups that have the covers built in that hang from her easel (bought separately at a big box store). All in all, this is a value at about $40. One word of advice, buy a cheap carpet to go under the painting area...even though tempra cleans up better than most paints it can still stain carpet.

I purchased this pack of Tempera paint in April of 2010 for our church's sunday school program, and the last bit of the last bottle (the tan was the last survivor) just was used up last week. Michelangelo didn't use Tempera paint for darn good reason, by nature the stuff tends to be a bit on the goopey, occasionally-globby side, and this was really no exception. Wasn't too bad, though, the coverage was good, and the colours were good and bright.Overall, the kids really loved the stuff and the teachers were pleased with both the cost and the ready-mix bottles (as compared to mixing your own from powder) so I'll likely be ordering another round of it here in the next week or so. For the price, it's a darn good value.

I am currently painting part of my sons Halloween costume (he is going to be Steve from Minecraft) and I knew I would need quite a bit of paint. I have seen 16oz bottles go for $5 each - and I couldn't find any for less than $3.50. Even though this set had many colors I didn't think I needed, I bought it anyway.I am SOOO happy with my purchase. I am painting cardboard, and much of what I have painted has needed only one coat and it looks good. My younger daughter is also painting pictures along side me and loving it. The colors are very vibrant, the paint mixes well, and again - you can't beat the price.These are nearly as nice as my acrylics - I am forever a customer of Prang now! Thanks for the great price Amazon!
