Crayola sent us a free review unit of the Paint and Pour Washable Art Set for us to review. Opinions are our own.
The Paint and Pour Washable Art Set is a great way for kids to enjoy the art of pouring paint and not make a giant mess. The kit gives you everything you need to get started. The set includes (10) 2 Oz Paints (5 Colors), (3) 6 x 6 Canvases, Paint Tray, Beaker, Pouring Base, Strainer, and 3 Stir Sticks.
To start off you have to mix the paints with a little water to make them flow smoothly. The instructions give you the details on how to do this. I had Andy mix up each of the five colors (red, yellow, blue, purple and white) in the beaker. I cleaned it between each color mixing. Once he was done he put the colors into the beaker to get it ready for pouring.
Andy then poured the mixture through the strainer onto the canvas and tilted it this way and that to cover the whole canvas. We did cover the table but the paint was mostly contained by the paint tray. I say mostly because Andy did tend to forget and put the stirring sticks on the table cover. It is a good thing to cover your work area so that you keep everything nice and clean.
Once the canvas was covered we added more to it using the pipette. With that we were able to make some bubbles and I showed Andy how to make the bubbles bigger by puffing a little air at a time in the bubble. When the bubble popped, paint would splatter around a bit more. This made for a cool design.
Once Andy was finished I tried making my own art piece. I think ti came out pretty good.
