I purchased these paints for my 2.5 year old because they seemed perfect for a toddler. The paint bottles really are just right for little hands--they are "chubby" and fit my toddler's "fist grasp" just right. The paint is somewhat watery, but the colors are vibrant and the paint dries quickly. The disappointment comes from the fact that while these paints make great dot art, when you try to paint with them by dragging the sponge tip across the paper, the paint flow to the sponge tip stops, which causes the product to streak (when experiencing this for the first time, my dismayed toddler exclaimed, "It's broken!"). You have to stop and push down hard on the sponge tip to get the paint flowing again before you can continue. Additionally, I wouldn't say these paints are all that washable. The blue paint didn't come off of my daughter's hands (or my hands!) until several handwashings later. Despite these shortcomings, I think this is a great way for younger children to enjoy painting. If these paints did more than dots and were more washable, they would have received five stars.Get more detail about Alex Toys Dots and Dashes Paint (Set of 6).
