6 Tempera Color Cake Set Review

You will not get the same color from the cakes that you get from regular tempera paint. I was looking for something that was easy to clean up and would limit the amount of wasted paint that usually happens with normal paint tubes or bottles. As far as waste and clean up goes, these are much nicer than a bottle of paint. If you have kids or teach an art class to little ones, use these! What I noticed about this product is it's more like watercolor than tempera. It's very translucent and the more water you use the better the finished product will turn out. All the colors that came with the pack are bright and blend-able so overall it's a good product.

Chenille Kraft No-Spill Round Paint Cups Assortment Review

Chenille Kraft No-Spill Round Paint Cups Assortment

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 snuggly, 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 appreciate this video and review, let me know with your vote below.
