I used this kit at a 1st grade school event with 20 kids and it was HUGE hit! I practiced the day before to get a feel of the best paint consistency and opted to utilize the stencils to save time and self-embarrassment for my pathetic freehand. Keep a small cup of water, a bottle of clean water, a mirror for the kids to see and plenty of baby wipes nearby before you begin. This kit will have more than enough paint for 40-50 designs. Thank goodness for the stencils - the kids were able to decide ahead of time what they wanted, the stencils were easy to apply and remove and the designs were fool proof! Most kids wanted the designs on their hands so they could see them and lined back up again to get 2nd and 3rd designs which barely put a dent in the paints and there was plenty to go around. The consistency of the paint is key - too much water and the color will bleed underneath the stencil. Start with a slightly damp brush (gently squeeze out the water with a paper towel) or spray the paint lightly with water and mix up the color with the brush to a slightly pasty consistency. If it gets too watery, dab the top of the paint with a baby wipe to pick up the excess water and mix with the brush again. Glitter is best applied using a damp finger (I used a baby wipe to dampen my forefinger) and lightly dab it on the skin around the design, rather than on top of the design to avoid smearing the paint. The design can easily be touched up or removed with a baby wipe. I highly recommend this kit for any event - make yourself look like the best cool parent in any class event to show off to all your kids friends. ;)
