Las pinturas son lo máximo! Se quitan a la primera lavada y también se quitan muy fácil de las paredes y piso.

I bought it as a Christmas gift for my child and a year later, they still love using it on the regular. This may not be the most flashiest of presents, but it is something that will provide long lasting entertainment (which kid doesn’t love to dip their hand in paint?) and so many avenues for creativity. It comes in large bottles of the 4 main colours and a massive roll of paper. It also washes off easily off of clothes, hands, floors and sofas, which I like.

Set composito e completo con cui arricchire il cavalletto della stessa marca.I barattoli sono fenomenali, grazie all' apposito buco centrale permettono di non far fuoriuscire maldestramente della tempera e aiutano il bambino nella gestione dei pennelli.Mi sarebbe piaciuto ci fosse un grembiule salva abiti.

We bought this for our 2 year old (now 3) to go along with the M&D Easel set (link at the bottom - I wrote a review for that as well). You do need to purchase something to use on your easel and this set of paint/chalk and containers is an obvious choice.Chalk is chalk for the most part, but I will say these are nice, large sticks of chalk that won't break as easily as typical, thin sticks of chalk.The paint and containers is the big winner here. The paint is fine, but what I really like are the containers. First, they fit right into the holders on the easel (obviously since they are both M&D products). Also, the containers are fairly spill proof and keep the paint wet and "usable" for a longer time since (even without the sealed lids) they limit the amount of air/evaporation that can occur. We have forgotten several times to put the container LIDS on when we were done - only to discover 1-2 days later that the paint was still wet and usable. That's with only a small amount (maybe .5") of paint in the container. When you do remember to put the lids on, it will stay usable for even longer.I can't say that my 2-3 year old properly uses the containers to remove excess paint from his brushes just yet, but what fun would that be. He LOVES to paint on his easel.Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easelhttp://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Deluxe-Standing-Easel/dp/B0002AUWKG/ref=pd_bxgy_t_text_y

We purchased this set to go with the Melissa and Doug easel, and the only complaint I have (and it's a minor one) is that it only comes with one (blue) dry erase marker. Beyond that, the items in this set have exceeded my expectations. First, the paints really are washable (note--my kids paint outside, so I can't comment on whether or not the paint comes out of carpeting). The paint is just the right consistency--not too thick, not too thin--and the colors look just as vibrant when they dry as when they are wet. The best part is that the paint washes right off of my kids' hands. The paint cups are genius! I love the inverted lids that help decrease mess and also keep the paintbrushes in place. Clean-up is so simple--I just rinse the brushes under cold running water and wipe the cups and lids with a damp paper towel, and they're clean! Any splatters of paint that land in the paint tray or on the whiteboard can also just be wiped away with a damp paper towel. Snap the storage lids on top of the paint cups, and the paint doesn't dry out in between art sessions. The chalk is colorful and sturdy--if it can stand up to my three-year-old, who tends to be hard on her crayons and sidewalk chalk, it can stand up to anyone! The included eraser is also of very good quality. This is a great set and I'm very glad that we purchased it. When we run out of paint and chalk, I will definitely buy Melissa and Doug replacements!I am editing my review several days later to include an additional comment regarding the chalk. Another reviewer mentioned that the chalk creates a lot of dust. Our experience thus far has been that the green chalk, in particular, creates an amazing amount of dust. I've had to teach my kids to clap the eraser after they erase their drawings, otherwise the next time they go to use the eraser, it just smears green chalk dust around on the chalkboard. I'm not changing my overall rating for this set, though, since it is still a great value. We just may end up purchasing another brand of chalk when our Melissa and Doug chalk runs out.

I have purchased many Melissa & Doug products for my grandchildren. This year, I ordered 2 of these easels: one shipped directly to an out-of-state granddaughter; the second for another granddaughter who would be at my house Christmas Day.Grandpa and I began assembling the big "Santa-type" gifts Christmas Eve at 6:00 pm. We had completed 2 race track-train sets and table and chairs when Grandpa opened the easel box. We found no "hardware" and no clips in the box-this meant there would be "no assembly" tonight. Five grandchildren were expected Christmas morning and ALL five were to have a big gift under the tree!I placed a call to the number at Melissa & Doug and left a message about the incomplete merchandise and my disappointment. Now I needed to find a store open to purchase a different "big" present for my granddaughter.Granted, I should not have waited until the 11th hour to open and assemble. My past purchase history with Melissa & Doug have been flawless: their merchadise superior. I never expected anything less.Christmas morning things were fine. "Santa" left a note on the unassembled box that an elf left the nuts and bolts and they would be mailed in 2 weeks. This was satisfactory to her.Telephone communication began, and on Thursday January 10th, the package arrived. I opened it immediately and ALL the bolts, washers and screws were accounted for but not the "4 colorful clips". I called the Melissa & Doug store. I was not happy that the toy was still incomplete. The representative stated that the clips would be sent out. I remarked that my granddaughter would have to wait another 2 weeks for this Christmas gift and would I be compensated (I was thinking they could at least send an extra roll of paper for our trouble). I was told that "oh she can use it without the clips" and that it wasn't the fault of Melissa & Doug, but the vendor. She became very rude when I stated that the fault is with whomever forgot to pack the box with ALL parts.This was the wrong attitude to take with a customer. I bought a new, deluxe set (not second-hand or as is) and I paid retail (not reduced, discount or clearance price). I paid, and I expect to get what I paid for when I receive the merchandise -not piece by piece, week by week. THIS WAS AN INCONVENIENCE-having to run around to buy a replacement gift on Christmas Eve, to make an excuse as to why the easel was not ready for her to take home, multiple phone calls had to be made and now I was told I had to wait again!One mistake, I can overlook...but the second mistake accompanied with rudeness from the Melissa & Doug representative means it will be a cold day at the equator before I buy a product from this company again.
