Strathmore (27-209 100 Series Youth Paint Pad, 9 by 12", 20 Sheets, White, 9x12

Art supplies are my preferred gift for children of all ages. Developing the creativity and confidence that comes from the practice of art adds lifelong value. But they don't need to work with junk supplies just because they are kids. Open their world with a glimpse of something special. This Strathmore Paint Pad is a perfect product and price point for budding watercolorists without going completely crazy. It is sturdy and finely textured and easily reveals the artistry of watercolor that a stack of your printing paper cannot. Remove a page from the tablet, show the young artist how to tape down the edges on a (washable) surface and take the time to learn with them how this paper gently absorbs color and brushstroke. You won't be sorry.

I bought this pad of paper for my grandson, along with some paint sticks. The paper is good quality, bright white and thick enough that the paint doesn't go through, or wrinkle when he is coloring. I feel bad when kids are given poor quality art supplies. How frustrating it must be for them to use waxy crayons, crummy paper, terrible brushes etc.

Great quality paper making sketching or painting a breeze. The paper is good thickness so paint does not ansorb thru to the other side. Reasonably priced. I highly recommend this product.

The paper quality and size are great for our two year old

I like to make cards and the kids love to watercolor and this is the perfect solution for both. While extremely affordable, I cut each page into four pieces which allows us to use them for the top layer of our greeting cards. Regular paper and card stock are not appropriate to use with watercolors, and so I was delighted to find something that was extremely affordable that would allow us to enjoy creating pictures without being overly concerned about the price. I do realize that professional artists need to rely on paper to have a very high percentage of cotton however, this paper suit our needs perfectly.

Great pad, nice thick pages. Reasonable price. Great gift presentation. Sound purchase.

Doesn't bleed through

Our preschooler loves water color painting and this is our “travel” pad. Lightweight and not too thick but holds up decently to watercolors.

Love love love this tracing paper. I used to use this in Canada and you can't buy it in the UK so I was very happy they can ship it over. The tracing paper in this country is thick, very transparent, and very smooth so pencil can easily get smudged on it. This paper is thinner, less transparent (but still see-through) and great for drafting. I use it to adjust line drawings for illustrations

Great paper for painting!

No issues with the product itself, but it arrived with a damaged corner and the pages are bent. My Niece whom I'm gifting this to is only 2 yrs old, so I don't think her or her parents will mind, but it's disappointing. I might return it after the holidays if they'd like to wait for a new one. I'd hope the packaging for these items improve. Even just afew cardboards inserts could help.

This painting paper pad seems to be of good quality. The binding could be more durable, especially for younger painters.
