Paint Spin Art Machine Kit for Kids - Arts & Crafts for Boys & Girls Ages - Art Craft Set Gifts for 6-9 Year Old Boy, Girl- Cool Painting Spinner Toys Kits - Birthday Gift Ideas for Ages 6-12 Years

Well built and thoughtfully designed and the concept is simple but makes the toy really engaging.It does get little messy at times but thanks to it’s good build and design it’s easy to cover.

The wheels didn't fall off yet and this little gadget is pretty sturdy the paint is long gone and so is the paper but it came with a good bit of supplies. We are now making our own with stock card on the cricut and I just use paint from the store for kids. It's a great little gift for kids. You do have to keep the shield clean or it gets stuck but it's not hard. Tlwe had alot of fun with this until they all started to fight over it. I may buy an extra one so prevent fighting. Great toy actually! Occupies my kids for literally hours and normally that doesn't happen with any toy.

Great fun and sparks creativity

The item was easy to use and fun for the kids.HOWEVER, the paint is NOT washable and it stained clothes and left paint on the table that will not wash off. I am concerned that this was made in china and if the paint is non-toxic. Read about it and cannot confirm.

Purchases for my son and he loves it. It is really easy to use and keeps the mess down to a minimum. The colors are nice and bright and it's easy to clean. Overall a good purchase.

Works well, easy to use

We just got this yesterday and my daughter has had so much fun using this since then!That said, do I recommend this product?: Maybe. Read below for a more in-depth review.This product is fun and includes great colors - I love the metallic colors they include, even if those 3 are small bottles.The major drawbacks of the product mainly center around cleanup. There is no way my daughter can clean this up by herself, so a lot of the autonomy of this is gone.One of the reasons its difficult to clean up is the battery compartment within the unit. I bought this unit because I didn't want to have to spin it manually, but now I see the drawbacks to a powered unit. Embedded battery compartment + water = bad news for cleaning. It might have been a smarter design if the motorized part of the unit were a removable, rotating, notched 'pin' that sticks in and attaches underneath the unit and spins during use, but can be removed for cleaning.I also don't yet understand the purpose for all of the negative shapes in the yellow piece that holds the papers, but it just makes it tougher to clean than a solid piece would have been. One or two holes to put your fingers in to pull the piece out would have been sufficient.The rounded bumps that the clear plastic cover fits over also trap paint like crazy and are so annoying to clean. I feel like the space between them was unnecessary and is just a pain to clean.The embedded paint bottle holder section is cute and somewhat handy...if you only ever plan to use the manufacturers paint. Unfortunately, they trap paint during normal use and during cleaning and they are difficult to clean. A simple, seperate, lidded container would probably have been better for paint storage and holding.Also, the paints were inconsistent. Some worked great, but some of the paints didn't work as expected and would hit the paper and immediately go flying in a giant gloop off to the side, onto the cover, barely getting any color at all onto the page. (We noticed this with the yellow and blue, in particular, and somewhat with the gold.) I don't know yet if some of the paints were too viscous or the machine spins too fast, or both.Tip 1:When squeezing paint, hold it away from you, tilted backward, but have the tip end pointed at the page but a bit *toward* you. It seems counterintuitive, but it was the only way the gloopy paints worked.Tip 2:Let the unit get up to full speed (takes about 2 seconds) and then turn it off and try to squeeze the paint onto it as it is slowing a bit. The slightly slower speeds worked good for us and created some more interesting designs.Elaboration on whether I would recommend this product or not:I am undecided. Now that I know the pitfalls, I would first see if there are other powered units that are easier to clean for children to be more independent with. I do like this powered version over the manually-powered Tyco Swirl Art from my childhood, though.

Fun fun fun, grandson just loved creating with it.
