We’ve tried so many art supplies and kits over the years, but this is the first one that actually keeps things clean without taking the fun away. The mat is just the right size for our table, and the little spots for brushes and paint keep everything from sliding around or getting knocked over. What I really like is the rinse system 😇 no more cups of murky water getting spilled or tipped over. My daughter figured it out in a minute and now uses it on her own without needing my help. She paints, draws, even uses playdough on it sometimes. And after? I just rinse the mat and we’re done. I didn’t expect to use it this often, but it’s kind of become part of our daily routine. I didn’t get it on sale unfortunately, but if it’s discounted now, it’s even more worth it.
