 Stinky Paint Nov 11, 2009
This is a nice set and a good value for the money. We purchased it to accompany the M&D easel. The paint cups fit well and the brushes are heavy duty for preschool-age children. The only complaint I have is the paint has a strong odor that lingers even after you put it away.
I understand why a white board is fun for children but a grease marker stain is impossible to remove. It would be nice if this set came with a washable grease marker instead.
Grateful for the paint Oct 27, 2009
Rather than repeating many of the comments already mentioned, I just want to write here that the paint alone is worth the cost. Despite the fact that our 5 year-old works on a large, plastic mat, he still manages to get paint on our kitchen floor (brand new). Luckily, the paint wipes off with ease with a damp cloth - no scrubbing or rubbing whatsoever. Same with the issue of getting paint on his clothes - it washes off in the laundry. We're also sometimes lazy about washing the paint containers so the paint dries up, but if you mix in a little water (I swear, even weeks later...) then the paint is like new again, so we've never really had to waste paint. We've had this set for about 12-14 months now and we haven't yet had to buy a new supply. My son uses the set moderately and I've been surprised at how long the paint has lasted.
We're not into the chalk that much and we did also buy our own dry erase markers to supplement.
 Quality! Oct 10, 2009
We bought this along with the easel.
The paint is great, the paintbrushes seem high quality for children's brushes. The cups are genius.
I can't think of anything negative about this at all, except maybe a more than one dry erase marker would be nice.
Artist in training Sep 04, 2009
I got this for my daughter's 3rd birthday as a companion to the easel. She uses the paints often. She enjoys painting and it is helping her learn her colors. Although she doesn't use the dry-erase or chalk as often, I am glad that she has other ways to be creative.

 OK starter set, but will not buy this again Aug 31, 2009
We bought this when we ordered the easel. It is an ok starter set as it has most of what your toddler will need to use his easel.
Then marker arrived broken - the point pressed in the first time we touched it to the whiteboard and we had to throw it away.
The chalk is horrible - it makes a lot of dust. We will definitely buy another brand ASAP.
The paint cups seem very nice - this is the only item we will probably keep.
The paintbrushes are only ok - the hairs come off after only a couple of uses. It is very nice that the brushes are color coded with the paint and the paint cups.
The set only comes with one eraser - we had to get another for the whiteboard. The one it comes with works well for the chalkboard.
