Melissa & Doug Created by Me! Pet Figurines Craft Kit (Resin Dog and Cat, 6 Paints, Paintbrush)

This is a review for Melissa & Doug Decorate-Your-Own Horse Figurines Craft Kit: 2 Horses to Paint.Years ago, I remembered painting little clay-like animal figurines my dentist would give out. It was so much fun!When I saw this on Amazon, I wanted to share that experience with my daughter. So, I ordered it. The price was right, and there were two (just in case my son wanted to try painting one).It was a hit with the kids! Both sat down right away to paint. These figurines have a lot more detail than the ones I had a long time ago. They also are quite sturdy, and now that they are painted, they look great. Not realistic in terms of colors, but great (that is not the kit's fault, my son is six and thought blue paint should be included...).This kit is a fun little craft for your kids. I will surely buy another, likely a different animal, from Melissa & Doug. That company seems to have high quality toys and crafts (we've been buying them for years and they always seem high quality).

Easy to color and the paints are just right. My daughter and I loved this activity together and she really tried to match the colors to create the wonderful figurines. What is great about it is that we can have them as a memory for a long time and it is also a good practice to develop fine motor skills.

Package arrived nicely, and in perfect shape to give as a gift for my 6 year old cousin.I cut the tape on the bottom, and wanted to examine the paint before giving it as a gift. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t dried up as in some of the reviews. The paint was packaged in a clear wrap and I removed that and opened each cup. The paint is fine :)I also took a picture with my adult hand for size reference. I did expect them to be slightly larger, but they are still worth the very reasonable price so I will not take off any stars for that. To a 6 year old, it’s probably around the right size.I will say I did notice the horses had a little scuffing on them but I’m not sure if that came through on the picture. It’s not really a scratch- more of a scuff. I will not take off stars, because that doesn’t really matter either if it’s going to be painted over.I will say, I’m not sure if I would buy this for older kids (say 11+ in age) just because the horses look slightly cartoony as you can see in the picture.All in all, I am happy and it will make a great gift, and it was a great price.

smaller than expected, so hope my granddaughter likes it

Hi Amazon, thank you for the paint set of the ponies my granddaughters love to paint and they really enjoy it. Thank you very much. Lori

We hosted a dinosaur themed party and bought a box for each child. It was a great activity that boys and girls (ages 6-10) all enjoyed and they got to show off their unique design skills. It also doubled as the party favor since they took their creations home...after getting some great snapshots for the scrapbook!

Always a good product by Melissa and Doug. Great value.

I bought the pet one and dinosaur ones for both of my daughters. They have enjoyed painting them and was a good activity on a rainy day.

So cute and fun for the kids to paint.

Esta curioso, fue un regalo a para una niña de 10 años y le gusto mucho, pero le llamo más la atencion a una pequeña de 3 años

Great quality, great price. 3 yr old loved painting them

As a mother of four children I often gravitate towards the brand Melissa and Doug crafts. I am often very pleased with their quality.My daughter also enjoyed it her pets turned out great and cute.she also got another craft for Christmas she loved it was a weaving kit you would also enjoy it to that is why I highly recommend it.

My 8 year old daughter loved it!!!
