Darice 120-Piece Deluxe Art Set, Black

This is a review for Darice 131-Piece Premium Art Set – Art Supplies for Drawing, Painting and More in a Wood Case - Makes a Great Gift for Children and Adults. A few years ago, we found a cyber Monday deal for an art set like this one. I cannot remember the brand, but I do remember that it was ENTIRELY used by my children. My kids loved using all the different supplies and colors to make pictures, and they just loved the fact that the case could be closed and carried around like a briefcase. We decided this year to see if we could find another good deal on an art set, and we found the Darice 131 Piece Art Set. It looked entirely like what we had before, had lots of colors and different textures of coloring (marker, pencils, crayon, paint, etc.), and it was really a bargain. And, believe it or not, our kids were so excited to get the Darice kit and have been using it ever since Christmas. And yes, they carry it around still like a briefcase... Some notes on this set. First, given the price, don't expect super high quality supplies. They are good quality in my opinion, but this set is meant to be a low price, many piece set. Second, the case is a little flimsy. But again, see point one. Third, be careful when closing the case. If the latches aren't closed properly, you may have 131 art supplies on the floor... Overall, I love this product (or, rather, my kids love this product). I love the price. I will purchase this again when this kit is used up.

Bought this for my niece who loves to do art work. She loves it and uses it every single day the amount of stuff that comes in this is crazy for a great price under ten bucks. Includes markers, pencils, pastels, watercolors and plenty of accessories so they have plenty of options to chose from. Provides excellent way for kids and adults to experiment with a variety of artistic media. All in a black, snap-shut portable case good for when your on the go and the kids want to bring it with. PROS: Lots of options Easy to travel Never tired of one thing Cons: None

I got this for my 6 1/2 year old granddaughter, and what a hit it was! She is artistically inclined, and has been "making do" with crayons and children's markers. This set really charmed her, and she was ready to abandon everything else just to get to use it right away. While I think it was intended for older people, it suits her perfectly, and she seems very capable of using it properly. The illustrations of the set were clear and unambiguous, and made it easy to decide to buy this art set. I'm very pleased with the quality of the set, and the service and delivery were quite prompt. This is a very good quality set, worthy of an adult, but delightful for a child as well.

Good size set, lots of colors.

Our family has a lot of children and sooner or later they all visit my house. I even get to homeschool some of them! It's always a challenge when they're cooped up in my small house for a day while it rains or snows or any other inclement weather reasons to play inside. I finally got several of these art sets because they cover the pencils, crayons, paint...you name it, the set has it. It closes and can be put away and the kids LOVE IT! They grab their color books, tracing paper, construction paper and off they go to hours of indoor fun! By the end of the day, they have presents for everyone and I have new art for my refrigerator door! Kids range from age 6 to teenagers...they all play with their art set! A great investment in the children in my life...well worth any price but these sets are even reasonably priced.

Muy bueno al niño le encantó

I chose this product to save a bit of money compared to some of the more 'professional' to try and save some money - unfortunately this left me a bit disappointed. I'll start with the pros: Variety - you get a fair selection of colors for markers, crayons, and colored pencils Storage - this was a big reason for purchasing as it keeps everything contained Cons: Quality - that's the big one here. The paintbrushes that came with it were damaged, the box that contains it all is lazily constructed (more on this later), and I worry about the longevity of the certain constituents (stapler, scissors, markers). Edges of the wooden box were sharp If you're purchasing this as a gift and you know the preferences of the person in question, it may be better to simply buy that person only markers, crayons, etc. This product is more of a 'jack of all trades'. The Box: The craftsmanship of the box is very poor. As I mentioned earlier the two halves of the box do not line up when closed. The wood used was cheap and slapped together. I'm not sure the manufacturer even sanded the wood. But I have some general tips to improve this if you decide to purchase this gift: Tools needed: -Scraper -Sand paper/electric sander -Wood stain -Paint brush Carefully remove the paper stick on the box, if you're lucky the paper will come up easily and not leave behind any paper. Otherwise you're going to need the scraper to remove the glue. Afterwards, sand the box, I chose to sand the edges as well to limit potential injury and splinters. Once you've finished sanding all you need to do is stain the box. By doing this, it improved the visual aesthetics of the box significantly.

Bought as a gift, I should buy us one too. It was very nice. I would recommend this to anyone for sure. Good deal. Hope my review helped you some.

le encanto el regalos mi sobrino por el precio me salio regalado, son de muy buena calidad los colores y crayones excelente quería comprar mas pero como solo se podia 1 por cuenta ni modo

Bought for for my 3 year old. He loves it He doesn't know good or bad quality. Neither do I really when it comes to arts but everything looks very nice and high quality

姪っ子の誕生日に買いました。色、種類、共に大変豊富なのでとても喜んでくれました。

Best drawing kit. My daughter was so happy when i got her this

Tiene muchos colores para diferentes texturas y obras de arte, desde los pequeños hasta los adultos. Es fácil de transportar o de colocar en la casa y todo cabe en un mismo lugar. Está mucho más económico que otras opciones y las pinturas con buena calidad.
