Melissa & Doug Created by Me! Horse Figurines Craft Kit (2 Resin Horses, 6 Paints, Paintbrush)

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.

Amazon instructions suggest I mention “giftable, thickness, and sheerness”. This craft set is definitely giftable. The 8 year old female recipient loves horses so she was thrilled to receive it, and she painted it right away. She had a lot of fun painting and displaying her figurines! Sheerness does not describe the figurines, which is a good thing. They are white, not sheer prior to painting. Thickness is as expected for little figurines. They are cute and she loves them! I would recommend this craft set for young children.

Our granddaughter is really into horses right now and loves craft activities. This was the perfect gift for her recent birthday. She will enjoy painting the horses and displaying them in her room. Reasonably priced.

smaller than expected, so hope my granddaughter likes it

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).

Very fun toy my daughter loved it. Quality product.

These were an awesome addition to a play date we had with two Dino loving boys. Even my 17 month old enjoyed painting one of them. I did use washable paint instead of the paint that came along with the set. Only because I had 4 kids under 5 painting at the same time. Paint has held onto the dinosaurs nicely. The boys could identify the dinosaurs and were happy with the look. My 18 month old has thrown hers and it didn’t break so they are pretty forgiving.

I bought this for a friends daughter. She never got to paint them because they had a devastating house fire 2 days later.

I bought this as a gift for a 6 year old girl who loves horses. She hadn’t painted much before but found the paints easy to use and clean up. The models themselves were of good quality, as you’d expect from Melissa & Doug. They were a good size for little hands, but not so small that painting was fiddly. The mother informed me that she shared one of the horses with her older sister (9) and it kept them entertained for a good hour whilst she continued birthday preparations. Overall it was great fun, great value for money and brought some much needed time to the parents whilst the kids were occupied painting the horses.

My 8 year old daughter loved it!!!

they look fine, but the paint very difficult to remove with water

Mon fils a apprécié son cadeau, un peu sceptique au départ, mais il a apprécié ce moment de peinture. Ça change des feuilles blanches ! Je recommande !

Très joli bricolage
