IKEA Mala Kids"Painting Brushes" Set of 6 Water Color Brushes in Synthetic Fiber

I bought these because the regular tall thin ones arent very comfortable in my small hands. These are much more comfortable and I feel like I have far more control using paints. They were a little tough right out of the package but i squeezed each end a bit which helped and was also satisfying! Because the brushes are solid white, they do stain easily (i used both watercolor and gouache and both stained the white brush tips) however i didnt see any transfer of color when i washed my brushes properly. I dont really mind the staining. I worried that the smallest brush wouldn't be small enough for some of the smaller details I paint but that wasnt a problem at all. It helps a lot that the brush tips are all pointed and tend to stay that way even when they're wet with water or paint. Small details weren't an issue with the smaller brush and I loved being able to cover so much space with the larger brushes too.Overall, these are excellent little paint brushes for kids AND adults. You cant beat the price for what feels like a decent quality art supply.

I don't know if it's because I have small hands, but I tried child brushes once and really liked them. I bought these because I like that there's no paint on the outer wood, so it won't peal over time. I was also happy with how securely the metal seemed attached to the wood. Even after prolonged use with water, the brush hairs are still secure and there is no wobble between the wood and the metal. Great! I think that in addition to being smaller, child brushes are also more robust and built to withstand abuse. If you treat these brushes well, they'll last forever. The synthetic bristles are soft, hold a medium amount of water and color, and the variety is ideal. Good for children and adults (with small hands).

These are nothing spectacular for sure but they certainly live up to what is advertised. They are solid brushes that will get the job done. I won’t lie and say these are the best brushes ever, but the price point on these certainly makes them worthy of purchase. Even if it is just a starting set, you won’t have to sell your house to get them.

Very cute. Good quality for the use we are putting them to. Price point unbeatable.

Was looking for some basic sturdy but also decent quality brushes for water coloring for my 3 year old. She managed to break the skinny ones which came with her colors. These do the trick. They are thick enough where even I would struggle to break them. The bristles on these are also above average quality. They absorb the colors nicely and paint evenly. The also stay pointed even when left sitting in a water cup all day. Definitely recommend these for younger and older kids too.

Good selection of brushes. The tops come off fairly easily from the wood bases--not the most durable.

This is a good set. It was such a low price I really wasn't expecting to be impressed by the quality, but I in fact was impressed. This is a great student set for a variety of sizes of brushes, along with some small wash brushes for my early watercolor student.

I love these brushes. They have small handles but work great. Yes, you can buy them for cheaper from ikea.. BUT if you're like me, it's so much easier to just order from amazon and pay a little more for the convenience. Will buy again!

Tolle Pinsel! Die kleine hat mega Spaß

Yes the delivery was done before time. It is an IKEA product. Though costly, nothing to complain about the quality or performance. The units were the things a student of painting needs. A very good useful set.
