Advantages: it is mess free, portable, fun, easy to use

Disadvantages: each time you buy a pack the book is the same

These are a god send, car journey, plane trips, restaurants, and trips to the friends that have white carpets (they obviously dont have kids), you can take these along for little ones to create art work and there is not a scrap of evidence anywhere.

I have purchased numerous sets of these, the paints come in a tray and are like vasoline to the touch, there is a sponge applicator however, my daughter prefers digging her fingers in and a book which has a good range of pictures for her to test her art skills on. When used together, and the gel is applied to the page the colours magically appear.

An additonal advantage that i have found with this is that my 3 yr old gets frustrated with normal paints because she cant keep within the lines like her older friends. As the colour only shows 'within' the lines on the pags she can smear the paint wherever and it looks like perfect artwork everytime.

you can also get these sets with pens and they work exactly the same way which means that you can interchange the books around or they can use both the pens and paints together which certainly makes for a happy child!

Summary: Wonderful product - definately recommend it
