Great craft with a real use
When I spend time with my grandchildren I like to have crafts that we can do together. I like them to be simple, with a few steps and not a million pieces or pages of instructions. I love several things about this globe project. First, like I said it’s simple, just take out the globe and start painting. Next, it provides an opportunity to talk about the solar system. When the child needs to decide what colors to use you can Google all the planets and talk about which one they want to paint. Finally, and perhaps my favorite part, is that this craft has a functional use, it is a great night light. So this craft that my grandson did with me is displayed in his room and used every night. The price is great. It was both an easy and engaging project. I also purchased a different shape (same painting project) from this company for another one of my grandchildren. Both are used as nightlights and both of the kids enjoyed the project.

Perfect Gift
It was perfect for a child who loves to create! Which is pretty much every child! My son picked it out for his best friend’s birthday. It was a hit. Great quality, and everything was included.

What an interesting idea! I really enjoyed completing this craft and I think children would as well. You can truly let your creativity shine on this project because even though it is a “moon” it doesn’t have to be painted that way. It’s really just a contoured sphere. I found the paints to be plentiful and a good texture. None of them were dried out or goopy. They’re also easy to clean up, which is a huge plus when children are involved. None of the colours stained my hands or the surface I was working on. There are enough colours (12) that I didn’t bother mixing any and the two paint brushes are good sizes for this project. The paint dries quickly enough – I was able to touch it about 30 minutes after painting. And, after leaving it to dry all night, I tried rinsing the globe under water to see if the paint came off and it did not. Once you’re done and it’s lit up, it’s cute and personalized. It offers a fair bit of light, even through the paint, and is probably a good level for a child’s bedroom.The box comes with NO instructions but I think it’s probably pretty self-explanatory from the name on the box. A diagram of the stand might be useful for some as there is no picture of it on the box and you have to put it together. Of note: the sponges suck up a lot of paint (as sponges do) so using those quickly depletes your supply. I used 3 of the sponges a total of 14 times and I used up all of the white paint.Overall, I was pleased with this craft and wouldn’t hesitate to give it to a creative child for their birthday.

5 out of 5 Stars (5)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐[TL;DR][QUALITY] (5/5)[VALUE] (5/5)[EASE OF USE] (5/5)[MET EXPECTATIONS] (5/5)[PACKAGING] (5/5)[REVIEW REMARKS]Although this kit is marketed for children, it really is suitable for any age group. I love the bear design, and there are others in the series.With a complete project kit included, which includes a fine and wider brush, mixing palette, twelve (12) different colours, accent bling, and the bear shaped lamp. This is perfect for an afternoon creative project, and there is enough paint and supplies to get the lamp finished with extra paint to spare.The bear lamp is powered by button batteries and it emits a warm white colour. I would have preferred this to be rechargeable, or powered by a more readily available battery . Changing the batteries will require another order for the proper sized button batteries. Also, it you are working on this with children, those batteries are a choking hazard for kids, and pets, alike. So, a rechargeable solution would have been preferred.The paint does need to be applied in a uniform way. I found that if the paint was applied too thick, the light did not show through as well. The body of the lamp is more opaque than translucent, meaning the light does not illuminate through the lamp, making the areas with a thicker layer of paint with not be as vibrant when viewing in the dark.All in all, this is are really cool gift idea for the bear lover in your life. They are able to decorate the bear any way they choose. I think this style of painted lamp project would be really suitable for older adults, and it would be an activity that can be completed by a family. The end result is as good as you make it. The small bear shaped lamp would be excellent as a night light, or a statuette in a washroom, or even a Livingroom. I would order this set again, perhaps in a different style, if available. I would order these as a gift, or as a project to be completed in a group. Very fun and a decent value for a customizable lamp. There are other variations of this with other animals, I would order this again, or another from the series.Recommended based on quality, completeness of the kit, age range, fun factor, and value.In the event that experiences change or evolve, updates may be made to this review to address such developments.
