Faber-Castell Young Artist Paint By Number Kit Fairy Garden, Kids Watercolor Art Kit

My first grader and I both enjoyed working on this paint by number watercolor kit. There are 7 watercolor pencils that come with this kit, i.e. magenta, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, and blue. The watercolor pencils look very attractive and the colors are nice too, not that I would expect anything less from a premier brand such as Faber-Castell.There's a slip of paper included which indicates how the picture is to be colored, and the numbers are not too small either, which makes for convenient reading for my tired eyes! There's a square printed canvas, an artist paintbrush (though we used other brushes which we already had as well). The kit also comes with a black foam mounting board and adhesive to display the piece once it is finished.The difficulty level is beginner's - I worked on it with my daughter, but this is perhaps geared to ages 8 and up, depending on a child's control of the brush and technique.It does serve as a great introduction to using watercolor pencils though and you'd have a beautiful piece at the end!

I bought this for my 8 yo old son who loves to mix colors and paint. Although some areas were a bit tiny and hard to paint for his age, the directions were relatively easy to follow and he was able to replicate the cover photo. The painting actually took several hours to complete because we had to wait for some areas to dry before painting around them. It was a nice weekend project. As expected from Faber-Castell, the paint was high quality and opaque and the hardboard canvas was nice to paint on (he felt like a "real" artist). We wished there was a bit more paint to mix though. Overall, he loved the project and proudly displays it in his room. Great intro to Pop Art for my child.

I got these as gifts and the girls really liked them (10 and 6). You can mix colors to make your own shades of things and because it is a paint by number- there is no way to mess it up :) Great for a snowy or rainy afternoon project.

It takes a little practice to do the different shades of color(darker or lighter) if you are a beginner but it is very easy to figure out. I thought the colors overall looked bright and vibrant and really enjoyed finishing this. My 12 yr old twin girls loved the picture too.

I was giving this as a gift so I was really concerned about the quality, and the strength of the colors (as sometimes what you see in the picture is not what the product actually is). I was not disappointed. The color was great, the pencils were easy to use, and the 9-year old I gave it to found it fun and enjoyable. I would buy a product of this type from the same manufacturer again!

I gave this one to my 8yr.old granddaughter, and the peace-sign design to my 13yr.old. They found them great fun, and I think it is a good intro to watercolors. They learn some color mixing, and where is indigo anyway?(only in a rainbow or prism !).The canvasboard makes them easy to work, and the background mat makes them extra special, the kids are already wanting more to give away. We need more designs! I definitely recommend!

Although we are big fans of the Faber-Castell line of arts and crafts, this project was not among our favorites. Mixing water with the watercolor pencils was messy and produced a blurry, untidy image. There are  better products  to teach the art of watercolor painting. My teen, a devoted colorist and painter, found this art project tedious and unrewarding.Instead, try Faber-Castell’s  Color By Number Love Art Kit , which uses vibrantly colored pencils to fill in a beautiful pop-art image.

This is an excellent paint by number for children and adults. It is a little complicated for younger children, but would be perfect for those 8 years or older. It required some easy mixing/blending of colors. All Faber-Castell kits come with high quality brushes and easy instructions. The final product was a cute canvas that would be perfect in any kids room or casual kitchen area.

This was a gift....i assume they are happy with it.

LA niña de 8 años que lo hizo paso horas de entretenimiento y el resultado fue muy bonito. La marca es garantía y llego muy rápido

Came perfectly packed and is of a reasonable size. Haven’t tried it as I’m giving it as a gift but I’m satisfied with this purchase !

Very well packaged and made a lovely East gift for my grand daughter who because of allergies can’t eat very much chocolate. Well priced for quality pens etc. She loved it

The best option to relax a little bit and good quality of the products as always with Faber Castell. Plus the price is really good. If you want to give it as a gift for kids, ir is just perfect, since it is easy to follow the instructions to paint the draw.
