 Loose fitting lids, NOT AIRTIGHTAug 16, 2010
By J. Cullen
"researcher"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R11QXVXKVTVREZ This review is only for the paint cups, not the brushes. I have had these paint cups for several months. You get a lot of paint cups for your money, but the lids don't fit will on the cups. Each cup has top and bottom lid. The bottom lid is the spill proof part while the top lid provides a supposedly air tight seal. These cups are poorly manufactured; the fit of the lids was hit or miss or the 10 cups. Some bottom and top lids fit very snugly, but many were too loose (see my video review). All the lids were paint tight, but most were not water tight, and few were air tight.
For example, my 2 year old dropped a paint cup from about a 10 inch height and the entire lid popped off and paint went every where. So much for spill proof.
Also, after a few weeks the paint (we use Crayola washable tempera paint) became quite thick because the top lids are not air tight.
Pros:
- you get a lot of paint cups for your money
Cons:
- top lids don't fit tightly which means the paint dries out
- poor quality control; some bottom lids are very tight others are rather loose
- not spill proof; bottom lids pop off too easily if cup is knocked over
UPDATE: I purchased the Melissa and Doug paint cups. They are pricier, but solve all the problems I have with these cups. See my video review on the Melissa and Doug paint cup product page. I compare the Melissa and Doug and Chenille Kraft cups side by side.

Great paint holders for kidsApr 14, 2008
By C. OBrien
These paint pots work great. Easy enough for a 1-year-old to get a paint brush into and out of without spills. Fits in the paint holders of the Melissa and Doug wooden easel. The lid then flips over to seal the cup and I have kept unused paint in the cups for several days.

 MUST HAVE for creative toddlersOct 27, 2007
By Lou Ellen
I got these paint pots for my granddaughter who is 3 and a VERY prolific painter, in that splash and dash way of toddlers. These pots are terrific. No matter how many times they get tipped over (many times per painting session) they don't spill. Also, the cone shaped opening at the top helps get at least some of the paint off her well filled brush on the way out. And they hold enough paint for several sessions. Great invention.

Good choiceNov 22, 2008
By Grandma
There are color-coded brushes and pots that match the colors of the Crayola paint, they are nice and big, and the Crayola paint is thick, so this is perfect for little kids. The brushes wash up easily. The pots are great...they fall on the floor, no spill, no splatter, plus they have the lids to cover as soon as the little one is finished painting. They fit into the shelf on the Little Tikes easel. Since the pots and brushes are color-coded, the child doesn't get the paint mixed together but has a separate brush for each color. Everything washes up easily.

Neat ideaMar 18, 2008
By John Cochran
This is a nifty product: fun for kids, wonderfully tidy for mom and dad. The paint won't spill from the pots, and there's a matching brush for each pot, so your kid doesn't have to move a dripping brush from pot to pot.
The brushes are colorful and big and chunky: just right for toddlers' fingers.
