This set with 9 different colors and a brush is just great for little hands and bigger hands as well. The kit itself has the 9 tempera cakes and 3 empty squares for water to rinse the brush in... but I do wish the kit's packaging was more properly secured, it is too easy to come open, it doesn't really lock closed. But the product itself makes it easy for kids to allow their creativity to go wild, easy set up and easy clean up. The pigmentation of each square is phenomenal especially the red and green which are nice an rich in color. This makes for a great gift for anyone that loves to paint, any painting project for children, or just anyone testing their hand at painting for fun... but again the packaging does need improvement ;)
