My little 6 year old loves to paint! These paint cakes make it so much easier and less of a clean up. The colors are very vibrant! I thought she would get frustrated having to keep dipping in water to get more paint but there were no complaints. We noticed some of the paints got “dirty” on the tops and found its was a easy fix to keeps brushing and rinsing the brush to clean them up. The containers for the cakes being deep made it contain the extra water so it didn’t spill out and create a mess.
