"Im an elementary teacher of a mixed classroom. I did this with my kids (ages range from 4-7) and they loved to get to paint them. Many said that they hadn't ever painted before a loved it. It was easy clean up. The only problem I had was that the strings that came with them kept coming untied and I had to retie all of them, but that wasn't a big deal! Over all, this was a great craft to do for our Christmas Party and easy on the teacher!"
