First off, let me just say—this kit is a *dream* for creative kids (and let’s be honest, adults too). I tested it with my niece, and we had an absolute blast painting the unicorn and emoji stones. The textures feel legitimately stone-like, and the pre-shaped designs made it easy for her to dive right in without frustration.

The *all-in-one* aspect is a huge win. No last-minute Walmart runs for extra brushes or paints—everything’s included, even two brush sizes (shoutout to the fine-tip one for those tiny unicorn eyelashes!). The paints are vibrant and dried with a nice matte finish, though we did layer some acrylic markers later for extra pop (totally optional).

**Real-talk pros:** Kept my 7-year-old niece engaged for *two hours*—parenting win! The stones are sturdy (no cracking when she dropped one—oops), and they now live proudly in her fairy garden. Also, major bonus: zero toxic smells from the paints.

**Cons to note:** The stones are smaller than I imagined (about palm-sized), so manage expectations if you’re picturing full walkway decor. And while the included paint pots are cute, they dry out fast if left open—pro tip: use a damp paper towel underneath to keep them workable longer.

Perfect for rainy days, birthday parties, or even a quirky ‘painting & wine’ night (yes, I tried it—emoji stones + rosé = hilarious results). If you’re hunting for a gift that sparks creativity without chaos, this kit’s a 10/10.
