The way I have always done fingerpainting is to pour a little glob of paint in the middle, smear it around and then trace lines, shapes, etc. in the paint. However, as soon as my child started smearing her little glob around, the paper buckled and had so many waves in it, it hindered her painting. If I didn't mind paper buckling, I wouldn't have specifically purchased "fingerpaint paper." It does have a glossy finish (why it has it on both sides is a mystery), so I gave it two stars for that. I am really surprised that some reviewers commented on the strength and durability of this paper. Maybe they used it with a medium other than paint.

I purchased this paper thinking it can double up as both finger paint and regular drawing paper (since it's bigger than regular paper). Someone this paper has shiny surface thus it does not work well with crayons. Babies need to draw really hard for the color to show up.

My 4 yr. old grandson had tons of fun finger painting. He really got into mixing the colors to see what happened ... red and yellow make orange, etc. And if you mix red, yellow, blue and green they make brown. He had so much fun he didn't want to stop. I had to keep his 20 month old sister busy finger painting with me so he could keep trying out different techniques ... hand and finger prints, letters and numbers, swirls and roads, ... you name it, he tried it and can't wait till the next time grandma brings her bag of craft goodies over. I was thrilled to find Melissa and Doug's finger painting pad here on Amazon.com as our local Walmart only had the finger paints. Go figure.
