Preschool Paint Brush Set for Kids - Art & Craft Activities

I bought this little (24 brushes, maybe not little) set for various odd jobs like pollinating my tomato plants (I have an indoor machine that grows tomatoes), painting small dings (where the paint has chipped off) on my front fender of my car, etc. I did not purchase the set for a young child to paint with. The smallest brushes (they are numbered 1-24, 1 being the smallest brush and 24 being the biggest, thickest brush, work fine for my tasks. The handles are made of a decent wood, and they have a cheap metal band that connects the bristles to the handle. Herein lies the problem; the band connector is not overly well made, and bristles break free fairly easily. If this set is for a little kid, and you don't care that a few bristles may get in the finished work, this is a great set for the money; if, however, you are trying to use it to have a perfect bit of painting, forget it. I do find it interesting this is listed when I did my review as a "toy." I guess this is the first toy I have purchased for myself in about 60 years. (Yeah, I be old.) I hope this helps you make a decision regarding this product.
