The colors are super bright and even my 4-yr old can make these with assistance. The colors DO not mix into mash… they always stay separate. So no matter now you mess them up, the colors stay vibrant. The apron is a nice touch but on the cheap side and a little small (except for my 4yr old who loves the apron). It says to put the paper texture side down, but for the life of me I can't figure out which side that is, as both sides have texture. Doesn't seem to affect the outcome! Overall, a fun and relaxing art kit.
We dumped the extra solution back in the jar we mixed it in and just keep reusing it.
