If you like to draw and paint, this is the perfect set for you. My 9 yr old is pretty creative and loves drawing and painting. This set is just what she needs. It's a 3 in 1 paint set. You get 36 water color Paints, 6 brushes and even a pad. I'm going to give it to my 9 yr old as a gift for her good grades. She's going to love it. It's just what any painter would need and also a great gift idea.
