Press Play, Hand Them A Brush
A real art teacher walks them through every step at kid pace. Most kids do the whole thing on their own, so you can be in the other room. They pause for snacks, rewind when they miss something, and finish with a painting they're proud to hang on the wall.

Here's What Parents Had To Say

Father’s Day gift
My 5 year old painted this for her dad for Father’s Day - she made it a daddy whale with his daughter. Easy enough for her to complete nicely
-
Kids whale painting!
I did this with my adult daughter who has special needs, and she was able to do it with minimal help. It did take us longer than “normal” ( whatever that is) because we had to stop quite often but that’s OK. It turned out beautiful! I would highly recommend these classes. Can’t wait to do another one!!
-
Great gift for granddaughter
My 6 year old granddaughter loved this and had no trouble following the instructions! Her painting turned out surprisingly well. I’m likely to buy her another painting in the future. Only downside is the package didn’t include a photo of what the painting would be. I think that would be good to include- especially on gifts!

Stuff Parents Ask
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this for?
Most of our kids kits work for ages 6 and up. Each painting page lists the recommended age range right at the top. Younger kids do better with a grown-up alongside, which honestly is half the point.
How messy is this going to be?
The paint is non-toxic and washes off skin and most fabrics. Throw on our apron, cover the table. The palette is disposable, so you toss it when they're done. Nothing to scrub.
How long will it take?
60 to 90 minutes for most kids. The video pauses while they catch up. No rushing, no graded steps. If they want to take a snack break in the middle, that's the point.
What if they get bored halfway through?
Totally fine. The video stays unlocked for two years. They can come back next weekend, or just paint over what they started. The canvas doesn't expire.
When will it get here?
Typically delivers in 2 to 5 business days from our Chicago warehouse, free over $60. Need it sooner? Pick expedited shipping at checkout.
How do I get access to the video tutorial?
Immediately after your purchase, you will receive an email with a unique link to your video tutorial. You can play the tutorial on any internet-connected device of your choice. The link is accessible for 2 years. The video tutorial can only be streamed, it cannot be downloaded.
Where do you ship to?
We ship to all 50 US states and Canada. Need it shipped outside North America? Email customersupport@paintingtogogh.com. The video tutorial works anywhere in the world.
What colors are included in the kit?
The paint colors are customized for the specific painting you're doing. We send the exact palette the artist used, so you get the right colors out of the box without mixing. Generous quantities of each color, plenty to finish your painting.
Are the paints non-toxic?
Yes. The acrylic paints we ship are non-toxic and water-soluble. Washes off skin with soap and water, and off your countertop with a damp cloth.
How do I gift this?
Add a gift note when you add the kit to your cart and we'll hide pricing in the box. You'll get tutorial access by email after ordering. Forward that email to your recipient when the box arrives. Prefer something digital? We also sell gift cards.
