My Painting Party Kits

I received a My Painting Party product in exchange for my honest review.

My kids love crafts and painting, and they were so excited when a My Painting Party kit arrived.  We have used numerous Choose Friendship kits before, so were looking forward to trying out this one.  This is a fun set that includes everything you need to have a painting party!

My Painting Party comes with a variety of supplies, and I was impressed with the quality of the items.

3 Canvases

The canvases are nice and solid, and they have flaps on the back so that you can stand them up.

3 Brushes

The brushes are really nice, with a rubbery grip and different tips.  We have had our share of cheap brushes, and these are anything but cheap.

5 Paint Colors

The paints come in squeeze bottles.  I like that the bottles are so easy to use.  These don’t make a mess and are easy to close up and keep the paint clean and dry.  The only downside is that the paint colors are limited, so I do recommend saving this kit for older kids who are able to mix colors.

App

I was worried about downloading the app, but it was free and easy.  I would probably recommend doing this on an iPad so that you can prop it up on the table while you paint.

The app gives you a bunch of different painting designs to choose from in a variety of levels, as well as a painting tutorial.   The tutorial walks you through exactly how to paint the image.  With 18 images to choose from, there is a great selection in a variety of difficulties.

The kit is great, and the only thing I think I might change is to add in a palette.  Since the colors are basic, it would be nice to have a palette, even a cheap disposable one, where the kids could mix their paints.  We have palettes at home and you can just as easily mix the paint elsewhere (even in the packaging).

The kids wanted to dig in quickly.  The app offers 18 different designs to paint, and the girls couldn’t decide on what they wanted to make.  They wanted to do a tutorial, but they also already had ideas of what they wanted to do, so they wanted to do those first.

My younger daughter made a painting of her hamster, which is proudly displayed in her room.  Here is a closeup of her work!

This is just one of the cool products that is offered by Choose Friendship.  My kids had so much fun with this kit!  I have to say, I wouldn’t mind using a kit like this myself!  I always see painting parties being offered around town, and it would be fun to sit down and make a painting.
