My eight year old is super huge into art stuff! Paints, markers, pompoms; you name it, she wants to make some kind of craft or art project out of it!  When she got this little paint set, she was so ecstatic! She loves rock painting or just painting on paper. We love the colors in it, especially the metallic feel of them! The quality is very nice compared to some other brands. The paint is a little sticky -even without the water- so keep that in mind if your kid is anything like mine and wants to touch it all the time, haha! This does mean that you don't need as much water on your brush though, which is so wonderful! All in all, I'd definitely say this is a must have if you have a little artist running around!
