I agree with everything in the review from Kingfisher111, but I would add that it works brilliantly for much younger children. My daughter is just over 2 years old and we spread the paper on the kitchen floor. I then squeeze the paint into the corners and she loves nothing more than putting her hands and feet in it and wandering all over the paper, watching her prints magically appear. We draw very simple shapes like flowers as it is not very precise, but she loves it. I have to keep using the same sheet again and again as it would work out very pricey to use a new sheet each time we paint. I do find the paint 'brushes' really hard to use and very user unfriendly, but young ones will love it.
