comparison table

In order to make it easier for the reader to choose from the paints presented in the review, I have summarized all their main characteristics in a visual comparative table.

The benefits of finger paints

Playing with finger paints contributes to the development of:

• Imagination;
• Fine motor skills;
• Artistic taste;
• Creativity;
• Emotional sphere;
• Sensorics.

Drawing with fingers, the kid learns the world, gets a new tactile experience, trains the eye, forms the simplest cause-and-effect relationships. In addition, the process also involves parts of the brain responsible for speech, so children who are often engaged in such creativity begin to speak faster. Finger paints help a child to cope with stress, improve his emotional background, help to remember the names of the main colors and their combinations.

How to choose finger paints

First of all, make sure that the packaging is marked "finger paints", as otherwise you risk buying regular gouache.They are similar in appearance, but paints intended for drawing with fingers have a safer composition, and therefore they will not harm, even if the child tastes them. In addition, manufacturers add special bitter ingredients to make them bitter.

Security

Always give preference to products of large brands - such manufacturers guarantee quality and safety, their paints do not cause allergic reactions. Before buying, ask the seller to show the certificates for the goods - this way you will avoid fakes.

Age appropriate

Most child psychologists and teachers consider the optimal age for the first acquaintance with them to be 10-11 months. At this time, the child is already sitting confidently and is able to understand what exactly needs to be done. For such babies, a basic set of 4 basic colors is enough. For children over three years old, kits with a large number of shades and additional accessories: special stamps and stencils are suitable.

Not all age 3+ paints should be given to young children - they may contain ingredients that are not intended to be swallowed. On the other hand, age limits are often a measure of reinsurance on the part of the manufacturer, so each set should be assessed separately, analyzing its composition.

Convenience

Before buying, it will not be superfluous to study the reviews and reviews on the set you like. Keep in mind that during the game, paint will be everywhere: on clothes, face, body, floor, furniture and walls, so make sure that you do not have any problems washing them. Also from the reviews you can find out how bright the colors are, how they behave on different surfaces.
