Cheap Spin Art Machine Rose Art by Mega Brands

My 4 year old was given this as a birthday gift and she loves all things messy and paint related. My first thought after opening the package was that the stiff card stock that it comes with would not be much more than an hours worth of supplies and the paint bottles while fitting nicely into the holders are pretty small. My second concern was that the paper seemed not to fit!! I pulled the box out of the trash and realized the paper slips in with the corners not the sides! That would explain some of the other reviewers complaints - problem solved. We also had problems with it slowing down after a while. This was a direct result of letting the paint build up at the bottom of the tray. My daughter is very heavy handed with the paint and there seems to be no problem with spin if there is no bottom build up. As for the splatter... if the shield is not on in the proper spot it will spray out. It is not difficult to put in properly and has not been an issue. All in all we love this activity. The machine is light weight and noiseless making it easy to get out and have fun. We have yet to try different kinds of paint and there seems to be no refill information. This could be the only real problem I foresee but I think tempera paint will do just fine.Get more detail about Spin Art Machine Rose Art by Mega Brands.
