Toys and Games Reviews of Loew Cornell Colossal Art Kit, 315-Count
Customer Review: Colossal is the key word...
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered two of these art sets for my kids, ages 7 & 8. They enjoy arts and crafts and I thought this set would make a great gift for them for Christmas. If I would have realized exactly how large the set was and how many art tools are included, I would have only purchased one for them to share.
I'll start out by saying that the sets are nearly 2' wide by 2' tall and about 2" thick. The packaging seems to be a little flimsy and I anticipate having to get a couple of storage containers once the kit packages fail, but they'll work fine for the time being.
The kit contains a whole assortment of tools, which was the main reason I chose this one. There are a whole bunch of markers in the package - thin tip and thick - which I don't mind. There are also two sets of colored pencils (one set the body of the pencil is colored and the other set is wood color with the ends capped with the color of the pencil) and I don't know what the difference is. There is a large set of watercolor paints and I'm guessing 10-12 small paintbrushes included. I'm very excited to see how the kids use the oil pastels, even though they haven't ever tried them before (they were one of my favorite art tools when I was in high school). The chalk will also be fun. There are also several erasers (maybe 5) and I think 3 small pencil sharpeners.
Overall, I'm pleased with the set. Some reviewers said they weren't happy with the quality of the materials, but for my kids I think having the range of tools and opportunities to try out different kinds of artistic media as beginners is well worth the $30. If I was to go out and purchase all of these items individually, even mediocre quality products, I would be spending well over the price of this kit.
