It was GREAT! I agree - - totally addicting. We are already planning our next session, the kids had so much fun. We ran out of watercolor paper (nice and thick) so started using some drawing paper, but they did curl up a bit - so I recommend getting LOTS of watercolor paper. And cutting up into 1/4 sheets so you can double your production. Also, make sure the paint is very thinly applied. Glops and thicker paint tended to mess up the picture when you patted the paper down onto the paint. Thanks for a great idea!
