 Use the set 4 times and throw it awayJun 28, 2011
By Laura Beagle
I usually love Melissa and Doug Products. This water color set was anything but wonderful. My daughter used the set all of 3 times before some of the colors were almost gone. All of the colors were muddled from my daughter's use and didn't come clean quickly like the Crayola watercolor sets do.

 Horrible set of paints--don't waste your money!Jun 27, 2011
By David C. Freeman
We bought two sets of these paints for our daughter's stocking stuffers. What a waste of money! The colors are drab and depressing. Eventually, I passed them off on our 2 year old and gave my older daughters (5 and 7) a nicer set of Crayola's recommended on a kid's art blog. I can't believe the contrast. And the funniest part is that my 2 year old is not fooled in the least. When we all sit down to paint and I give her the M&D set, she refuses to use it and instead walks around the table to "steal" the paint from her sisters. I chucked the whole thing in the garbage last night. Another negative is that each little paint circle has VERY little paint in it. 3 serious painting sessions, and they are gone. Pass on this one.

Colors dull, didn't last beyond one painting sessionFeb 16, 2010
By atul
Although my almost 3 yr old daughter had fun painting with these watercolors, they were not vibrant and were quite dull colored. We tried using less water for higher saturation but the colors still looked very water-downed. And if you didn't mix the paint with enough water, nothing would get on the brush. We've tried Crayola and its color saturation and vibrancy is far better than this Melissa & Doug set. So the painting session was fine but the results were disappointing. And we've finished a few colors already just in one painting session.

Just like other reviwers said: there is very little paint in each of those circles. My daughter used all green in one "session".
 Texture of paint is wonderfulJan 30, 2012
By rurallady
I agree that there isn't enough paint in the set so that is why I gave it 4 stars.
We like the colors and the texture of the paint much better than crayola and are going to try the other M and D paints next.
