No-Spill Paint Cups & Brushes Assortment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review is only for the paint cups, not the brushes. I have had these paint cups for several months. You get a lot of paint cups for your money, but the lids don't fit will on the cups. Each cup has top and bottom lid. The bottom lid is the spill proof part while the top lid provides a supposedly air tight seal. These cups are poorly manufactured; the fit of the lids was hit or miss or the 10 cups. Some bottom and top lids fit very snugly, but many were too loose (see my video review). All the lids were paint tight, but most were not water tight, and few were air tight.
For example, my 2 year old dropped a paint cup from about a 10 inch height and the entire lid popped off and paint went every where. So much for spill proof.
Also, after a few weeks the paint (we use Crayola washable tempera paint) became quite thick because the top lids are not air tight. Pros:
- you get a lot of paint cups for your money
Cons:
- top lids don't fit tightly which means the paint dries out
- poor quality control; some bottom lids are very tight others are rather loose
- not spill proof; bottom lids pop off too easily if cup is knocked overUPDATE: I purchased the Melissa and Doug paint cups. They are pricier, but solve all the problems I have with these cups. See my video review on the Melissa and Doug paint cup product page. I compare the Melissa and Doug and Chenille Kraft cups side by side.If you find this review helpful, let me know with your vote below.

Play-doh Case of Colors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Though the fun, durability and educational value of this product are all very good or better, I did want to emphasize one thing for potential purchasers of this product. When I received this item from Amazon (intended as a gift for a friend's four-year-old daughter), I was pretty disappointed that there were NO cans of blue but TWO cans of hot pink Play Doh in the set.
The Amazon description DOES include a disclaimer for the potential variation of colors in the set, so I'm absolutely not faulting them for not alerting consumers to this deficiency. It's just that, well, I didn't think that it would happen to me (who ever does?), so please DO be aware that they issue this disclaimer for good reason. It's not the end of the world, and I'm sure that the recipient won't think twice about the absence of blue Play Doh in her new, "ten-color" set (such as it is!), but it keeps me from being 100% satisfied with the product.
While I'm at it, I should also add that these are NOT full-size cans of Play Doh - they appear to be approximately half the size of the cans in regular sets. I did not see that information anywhere in the Amazon description (it might be there, but if it is, it wasn't in a conspicuous place), and it's a point worth mentioning somewhere. If you think that you're getting a good deal by getting 10 full-size cans for eight bucks, you are getting nothing of the sort. Better Play Doh values can be found elsewhere on the site, so you might want to keep looking for them if, like me, you're generally the type who likes to get her money's worth.
