Is the suggested age a strict requirement, or can younger people still participate?

The suggested age is just that—suggested! While it can serve as a guideline, younger participants can certainly take part with some assistance. Everyone is different, so it’s important to consider individual abilities rather than strictly adhering to the age recommendation! PS our kits are fun for adults too!!

Don’t be deterred by the age suggestion—if it looks like fun, go for it and give it a try!

Does watercolor stain?

Yes, so let’s be careful, shall we? If our watercolor paint gets on your hands or clothes, use warm, soapy water to clean it. Always dress for a mess!

Do I need wire cutters to trim the wire?

No, a pair of scissors will do the trick!

How long does it take for watercolor to dry on the specialty art paper?

This can take up to 24 hours! Go see a movie or take a long nap. You’ve earned it.

Project Size?

The Butterfly Buddies boards are 5"x5"x.75". The Butterflies will vary in size depending on the Artist.
