Paint Spin Art Machine Kit for Kids - Arts and Crafts for Boys & Girls Ages 4-8 - Art Craft Set Gifts for 6-9+ Year Old Boy, Girl- Cool Painting Spinner Toys Kits Sets - Birthday Gift Ideas 5 6 7 8 9

I had one of these as a kid in the 80s, I think it was called the Twirl-O-Paint! so I was so excited to get one for my own kids, who are 6 & 8. It is a little smaller than the original lol but that’s ok, still provides the same enjoyment for the kids! We love seeing how each piece turns out, they are so fun and different each time! The quality is good, and nice that it comes with a good amount of paint and paper. It is easy to clean, just remove the splatter guard and wipe with a damp cloth. Just remember to wipe it down right away when the paint is still wet, it comes off easily.

So fun! My students LOVE it! Works well with watercolors too (I did not dare try the paint included in my class of 5 year olds:-). My only warning would be to make sure those little fingers don’t touch it while it’s spinning- it is powerful!

Quite frankly the drawings looked really bad but damn did this ever entertain my 4 and 5 year old grandchildren. Also I didn't realize that the paint is not soluble and we had a bit of a time getting the paint off ourselves. Put down a piece of plastic on the floor to protect it (so happy I did that). They left their "paintings" to dry and next time they visit they will take them home to their parents. Their dad called me up and said they were already looking forward to another art session.

Supervise to avoid messes. These are fun and pretty, but get used up fast. Order replacement paint and paper. I found the cost of supplies low.

My very creative 6 year old son LOVES this thing! Probably one of my best gifts to him to date. I probably wouldn't gift it to someone else though for fear of resentment from the mess, and risk of getting a dud hah. Ours worked great though. He went through all of the cards the first day. The battery still has juice, and it spins quite fast. I was worried about the mess, and was on edge the first few times it flung to the sides. The guard actually did catch the majority of it thankfully. We also did it over an old large towel. Whenever working with paint it will inevitably get on your hands and things around you. All of the paint in the kit worked, and we also added our own acrylic paint. I might even try Crayola washable paint in a squeeze bottle for an even easier cleanup. I was there to make sure the mess was under control, but otherwise he designed them and did it completely by himself. We loved the suspense of waiting for the spin to stop. He would get so excited every time and say "ohh I wonder what it's going to look like?!?" It is also memorizing and pretty to watch. I was able to find more cards by searching for 6 inch or less cardstock cutouts. Overall this is a pretty cool craft for anyone and I would recommend!
