Real Reviews From Real Parents

Here's What Parents Had To Say

  1. So much fun!

    Family activity around the holidays , kids were 5 & 6, the little one got distracted near the end but it’s still super cute!

  2. Fun Grandkids Painting

    My granddaughters have completed 2 of the 5 painting tutorials I purchased for them for Christmas. They had a great time and it builds so much self confidence and pride. Truly the best gift I could have purchased

  3. Fantastic and super easy to follow!!!!

    Super easy and the grinch came out PERFECT!!!

  4. Fun and Easy to follow while learning!

    My 10 year old and I have been doing these paintings together- neither of us are naturally artistic, but the videos are easy to follow while pushing us to try new things, great way to bond and spend time together!

  5. Even the guys enjoyed it!

    We had 2 of our adult kids, son in law and 2 grand kids over and did a Sunday Funday paint night ...everyone had a blast! The adults that don't really get into it (our guys) did the children's Rudolph and it was PERFECT! We also did Gnomes and the truck with Christmas Tree...loved seeing everyone's creations! Will definitely do this again!

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.
