WINDOW ART activity kit *****
this window art set has an ample supply of items to do your project from beginning to end. the box comes with 12 suncatchers and 12 suction cups with a small amount of clear line to be able to hang up the finished project. also 1 glitter paint, 7 tubes of window paint, 1 acetate sheet and an easy to follow instruction booklet. inside this booklet has a few pages of black lined shapes that you can place your acetate onto and trace the design. let dry overnight and then you can peel off a backing and place it on the window. it is removeable and can replace it on another window without damaging the acetate. the paint stains the skin. im not sure about clothing, but if it does that to skin, then surely any surface would get stained as well. my 8 year old granddaughter enjoyed painting these suncathers. and i liked it for her because it was a simple project, something that a child her age doesnt have to stress hard to think if she can or cant do it. the shape and separations on the shape are already there to prevent overflow from one color paint to the next. tip#1 squeeze out a small amount first. then stop squeezing. use the tip of the bottle itself to further move the paint around in its area. only sqeeze again if it runs out of paint when moving it around. tip#2 have your child wear clothing protection, apron or large old t-shirt tip#3 hand sanitizer will help remove SOME of the staining on skin or carpet, along with a baby wipe. this easy project is simple enough to help the child feel more independent. its something they dont actually need help to accomplish. just applying the amount. great for a fun weekend project for either boy or girl. with the acetate, you could make your own design and trace it, then paint it, dry it, then place it. so pretty in the window.

Fun art project
The packaging that the plastic pieces are in wasn't packaged well. The pieces are in the box in bags with the paint, taped to cardboard. It could have been laid out better to look higher quality. The colors of the paint for the window art are black, blue, red, yellow (.74 oz) and orange, green, pink with sparkles and purple (.34 oz) squeeze tubes. It would be nice if all of the colors were .74 oz. The smaller paint bottles go through paint faster, and run out. The tips on the paint are a little too big. The plastic window art pieces have some very small areas that you need to get paint into, which is difficult with such a large tip on the paint. It needs either a smaller tip, or a paint brush. For the larger areas, the tip works well. My 5 year old is easily able to hold the paint bottles and control them to paint, but did have difficulty with the small areas. It takes about 18 to 24 hours for the paint to be fully dry. You could probably hang them up when they are still a little tacky and it would hold the color. The colors are nice and bright when they dry, and the sun can shine through them. If the colors overlap as they are put on, as it dries, the colors mix (ex. Purple and yellow turn into orange.) It doesn't look like it will mix when you paint them, but as they dry, they seep together.

    Absolutely a must for young and old so much fun
    Absolutely wonderful idea for young and old. I had such a joyous time for hours with my four year old granddaughter. When little ones are painting they like to Load the paint and we found that is better for this type more color is best as they dry the paint turns clearer like stained glass. I am including a photo and all were covered in paint to the point where you saw no lines and when it dried they were gorgeous. A four year old painted all of these

    Kid crafting
    It was really super easy to make and they turned out super cute! The only thing I didn't like is it only comes with the dragonfly mold and if you choose to make a handprint in the mix it doesn't tell you how long it has to sit first or if you should do it right away. They make really cool crafts or cute gifts though. Just takes a little trial and error.

    Afternoon of fun!!!
    Made by Me Stepping Stone Kit is an awesome way to spend an afternoon with your kids making memories and so much more. The kit comes with four packets of quick set cement that requires less than two cups of water and 15 minutes to set. It also has jewels, colored tiles, paints, as well as, a mold. The mold has a flower and butterfly pattern for your child to paint and decorate once the stepping-stone has set, or create their own design while still setting. You can even do your child's handprints or footprints. My daughter and I did one with her right-hand print and a left footprint on one of the kits stepping-stones. I absolutely love the kit it was a messy fun afternoon that filled my little girl with excitement and creativity. And you need not worry about doing this with your son or your daughter the kit allows for either one to be creative. If you are looking for an inexpensive afternoon of filled with love and great memories with your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, this will be perfect for you. My daughter and I still have two more to do and I am so looking forward to doing them. I would definitely recommend this product and am going to get a kit for my sist

    I love this little window art set. Since I don´t have any kids in the house now, I did this myself. It is very easy to paint these sun catchers as all you have to do is fill in the dips. Everything is provided. The myriad of colors provided come in easy to squeeze bottles and they are a genorous amount in them, not stingy at all. Just let them dry over night and hang them! Mine did not take that long to dry as I laid them in the morning sun. The string that comes with it to hang the sun catchers was a bit hard for me to tie a knot into because it is like fishing line, but it is necessarily sturdy in order to be able to hang the sun catchers in place from the provided hangers. This box set would be an ideal gift for anyone of any age I think. I enjoyed myself immensely as I have not done any sort of crafting for quite a while. It was very relaxing. I know children would love the challenge and fun of this set. It would make an ideal birthday or Christmas gift. There is nothing like a bit of old fashioned art fun and this set is perfect for it. Sun catchers add such a cheery atmosphere to any window and room. Simple yet so pretty, I highly recommend the Create Your Own Window Art for anyone.

    Great keepsake project
    I chose this product to receive as a Walmart Spark reviewer to test out and give my honest opinion. I really loved this Stepping Stone kit as a creative project to do with my 11 year old daughter- ours came out PERFECT. I read thru the directions, got all the necessary pieces together, and set up. First, I used the cardboard INSERT box, not the outside product box, as my work area (it opens up flat). I filled a measuring cup with 2 cups of roomish/a little warmer water since the directions said to start with one cup of water and have one cup on hand to add as needed. My daughter put on the cute little "surgical looking" protective mask and the WAY too big for a kids hands plastic gloves. Directions say to use a disposable bowl to mix the water and plaster (NOT in the provided round molding tray!). I don't have disposable bowls so I took a plastic bowl I had and put a gallon size freezer bag opened in it- this worked awesome to mix the water & plaster together! I poured the cup of water in first as directed, then half the bag of plaster as the directions said (then it says to continue adding the mix and water as needed to get a "cake batter" consistency) but it was watery enough with just the one cup of water so I just kept adding the plaster and mixing (I used the provided stick but also we used our hands on the outside of the bag to smoosh it all together well and quickly :). When it was the right consistency, it was so EASY to just pour the mixture out of the end of the bag, into the mold, without any mess. We tapped the mold to pop any air bubbles that might have been on the bottom (we didn't lift the mold to look). Using the heavy cardboard insert as our work surface was also a great way to be able to lift and transport our stone safely to the dining room to dry without handling the still liquidy plastic mold itself. We waited about half an hour for the mold to set a little bit so we could make my daughters hand print in it- again, this worked perfectly! It was also the right consistency to stick some of the gems in the moist plaster to make them stick in it (and have the plaster harden around them to hold them in) and decorate it. It's been almost 8 hours since we left it to dry, and I can see that it is dry, but my daughter is asleep now so I'll wait for her till tomorrow to do the paint decorating part herself. My only minor criticisms: 1) smaller plastic gloves included for kid size hands (the big ones should still be included for the "adult supervisor" :) not that we really seemed to need them. 2) Maybe include a freezer strength, gallon size bag for mixing or inserting into a bowl as we did instead of hoping people have a disposable bowl or wrongly think they should use the decorative plastic mold to mix in. 3) Lastly, more than one plastic molding tray. We would've loved to have done at least 2 stones at a time instead of waiting 8+ hours to re-use the only one provided, especially since there is enough bags of plaster to do 4 stepping stones, it would be nice to be able to do all four at once if you want to make them as gifts. I'd rather even pay a little more to have an extra molding tray included (since this kit is so cheap in price anyway). All in all I would definitely buy this kit for my daughter to make more stones to give as gifts and even to give the kits themselves as gifts to others.

    Alot of fun once you get the hang of it!
    The mix and mold stepping stones kit was a lot of fun! I do wish it came with more than one mold tray tho. We used the included mold tray and pie pans and lids. Our first attempt did not go well tho. Our room temperature water was apparently too cold and the mold set up way too fast and we were not able to put handprints or any designs in it. For the rest of them we used cool or warm tap water. That worked much better! We used a butter knife to mix it in a stainless steel bowl. That worked much better than the large popsicle stick that was included. Our second mold in a pie pan lid, we put my toddlers handprint and a few of the gems from the kit in it. The other two were used to just paint on them and decorate. We do not plan to use these as actual stepping stones. I honestly don't think they would hold up for that. Maybe as decoration in the garden but I don't know how well they would hold up to the weather. Overall, the mix and mold stepping stones kit was easy to use and fun for mom and the kids! We are going to buy another kit now that we got the hang of it and make more!

    Not too messy
    These are cute and easy to do. You just squeeze in the color from the tubes the let it dry for 24 hours. It was a little hard for my 5 yr old to not squirt too much in at a time but he figured it out by the second one. My 8 year old also liked making these. They turned out nice. The only problem is that they come with suction cups that don't stay up.
