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

My grandson loved this! Very easy to put together also. its a great fort for the little ones. My grandson loved the idea that you could color the boards inside and outside to make it his own.. The designs you can create are endless!

I always loved spin art as a kid and the kids I nanny for love this one. Easy to use and easy to clean. Definitely wear some sort of smock or protective covering for clothing as it gets messy.

This product kept my 5 years old daughter entertained for hours. Just make sure you put the transparent lid to avoid messes. It lets her creative side to surface. She loves colors and paintings. I recommend it for young kids, it makes them forget about the phone for a while.

Kids love it and easy to use. A great creative project for rainy days. Clean up was easy and quick.

Easy and simple to use. A favorite in our house

Great value and it is great.

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.

My grand daughter had a lot of fun making paintings.
