Not oil pastels:
We got two sets of these for our kids for Christmas, knowing that the Alex brand has a great reputation - I was really disappointed to find that the oil pastels are actually just plain old wax crayons and they don't actually color very well - the colors are weak and insipid.

Cheap and not worth the price:
I purchased this kit because Alex usually makes good quality toys, but I was totatlly disappointed with this product. The glue was dry and the plastic scissors didn't even work. The cheap plastic interior, holding in all the arts supplies, will break in a matter of days. Alex should issue a refund, in full, to all those who purchased this product. DO NOT purchase!!!
Nice idea, not durable:
I got this for my 6 year old son, who loves to color and draw, after he saw it at a store. I liked the idea of him having a case to carry his art supplies.

Decent supplies. Cheap case:
Not at all what I expected. The supplies are okay except the plastic scissors. I was expecting a nice case though, but on the inside it's just really thin plastic that will wear and tear very fast. Also, every time you open the case, you then have to open up the thin plastic to get to the supplies.
