CrayolaEasy-Clean Finger Paint Station

Good concept. Poor performance.

Great concept but reviews are misleading! The functionality of this product is subpar. The paper, even though it is coated, rips when you try to pull it off. I have tried multiple ways (quickly, slowly, letting it dry, taking it out immediately) and I get the same result. This is a poor quality product that was glorified by paid for reviews and not worth the price. My kids (11 month old & 3 year old) enjoyed the activity itself but were bummed (mostly the 3 year old) that their art was destroyed when they were finished.

Disappointed with this Crayola

I thought this product looked great and bought 3 -1 for each of my 3 grandchildren born in a 3 week period. I have used 2 of the kits with 2 of the children. The paint sticks to the plastic window and ruins their artwork. I bought new paints and got the same results. Very disappointed with this Crayola product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You have to press too hard to get the paint going, so might be more suitable for a 2-3 year old who understands that. 1 year old isn't interested in that at all as they wouldn't understand to press that hard. As soon as you open it the lid rips the paper. Fail of a product. Waste of money

not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fingerprints have the oddest consistency, like a gel almost. They didn’t seem like they were bad, just that that’s how they’re supposed to be. The color payoff is really minimal as well. Which is probably fine for toddlers and younger kids. The good thing about these are they do clean up extremely easily.

Playtime without the mess

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Easy Clean Finger Paint Station from Crayola for my nephew when he comes to hang out with me for the day. He's used to seeing my son paint, but unfortunately oil paints don't always come out of everything. The Easy Clean Finger Paint Station means he can sit and paint with his cousin without anyone worrying about messy hands, walls, or clothes. It makes sure everyone's happy and feels included in art time, and even better it doesn't set off his textile sensitivity, or cause issues that came with other finger paints.

Mess free when you follow directions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We first used this when we were camping and I wanted to have lots of activities for my children to do since we were mostly unplugged for a week. My daughter first played with sand and enjoyed the tactile activity even though it was constantly making a mess for me to clean up. So I asked her if she wanted to play with paints and while talking her into it she watched me put them inside the case, which was super easy to do and we were ready to go in moments. But that was my first mistake. I let her see how the sausage was made, so to speak. So as soon as I put the case down she began trying to open it so that she could get her hands on all the pretty paint. I wouldn’t recommend that because even with me showing her how to use it correctly, she didn’t forget that it was able to be opened and so she got bored quite quickly and went back to trying to open it, this time a bit more noisily. In the quiet and peaceful campground I made a decision to satisfy her curiosity by letting her play the way she wanted to, and I’d deal with the mess later. I came to regret that decision as well. She had fun smearing it into every nook & cranny of the case, as well as all over herself, her clothes, her picnic table, and her brother. So while I appreciate what a quick & easy activity this is - my clean up from allowing it to be used, not as intended, was neither quick nor easy - especially with our limited resources. I still love the concept, and I only tell the story as a cautionary tale to any parent purchasing this so that they won’t do it the way that I did. I do plan to give it a little time in hopes that she’ll forget, and try again. The only drawback that I found with the actual product is that it isn’t designed in a way that makes it easy to spread the paint beyond the center of the paper. It goes out a little bit and they you have the outer sides and corners with a little bit of a gap between the plastic protective layer and the paper, and so you are not able to reach it even when applying extra pressure. I think that could be improved upon by lessening the height on the sides of the lid and maybe the modification would make it more responsive for toddlers and hold their attention longer. Regardless we did have a time with it and mostly enjoyed the activity.

Great

Tons of fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My nephew has had so much fun with this finger paint station! It's super easy to clean and the paint comes right off clothes and tables with just one simple wipe
