Choosing art supplies is rarely about picking the most colors. It's about matching the medium to the project: a glimmering watercolor wash, a set of blendable markers for line work, or a washable paint that survives a toddler's hands. The four kits here range from $2.75 to $14.99, and they split into three creative directions. The best choice depends on the surface you want to paint, the age of the artist, and how much cleanup you're prepared for.
Quick take
The 60-color glitter watercolor set is the all-in-one shimmer option. The Wild Pigment Co handmade watercolor offers an artisan single color. The 80-color marker set is the drawing workhorse. The 12-color finger paint set is the washable, kid-focused choice.

Product notes
60 Colors Glitter Watercolor Set
This wooden-box watercolor set is designed to travel. It includes 60 shimmery colors, two water brushes, and a flower palette, so you can start painting right out of the box. The paints are described as non-toxic and color-changing, and the finish is shimmery rather than flat, which makes it a strong fit for journaling, illustrations, and craft painting. The trade-off is quantity per color: at 1 ml each, the set favors variety over volume, and you'll refill your brush often when working on large washes. It's a solid choice when you want a wide range of hues in one compact case.
Wild Pigment Co Handmade Watercolor Paints
This is the handmade, small-batch watercolor in the group, and the color offered here is Rose Wood. It's made in the United States with high-quality pigments, gum arabic, wildflower honey, and vegetable glycerin, which supports smooth rewetting and flow. It's an easy way to sample an artisan paint because the investment is small, even though this option covers a single color. Building a full palette means buying multiple colors. If you're looking for a broad watercolor set out of the box, this isn't that; it's for trying a handcrafted pigment or filling a specific shade.
80 Colors Art Drawing Markers Set
For drawing and shading, this marker set brings 80 dual-tip markers with broad and fine points. The alcohol-based ink is blendable, fade resistant, and non-toxic, and the set is suited for multiple surfaces, so it can go beyond ordinary copy paper. This is a large set, so it works best as a studio staple rather than a travel pouch. Because it's a marker system, it won't produce the same wet wash effect as watercolor; it's built for crisp lines, gradients, and color building. If your project is sketching, lettering, or school art, this is the most versatile drawing option among the four.
Washable Finger Paint Set 12 Vibrant Colors
This finger paint set is the only one designed specifically for young children. The 12 colors are bright and creamy, and the formula is washable from skin with soap and water and lifts from most fabrics, which takes the stress out of messy play. It's non-toxic and made with child safety in mind, and the 360 ml total volume gives you enough paint for repeated sessions. The palette is limited relative to the other sets, so older artists may want more range. For parents of toddlers or preschoolers who want a worry-free paint, this is the set that matches the need.
Final recommendation by use case
Every one of these options has a clear home, so choose the one that matches the surface, the age of the artist, and the cleanup you want to handle. For a low-cost introduction to handmade watercolor, go with the Wild Pigment Co Handmade Watercolor Paints. For portability and shimmer in a single kit, the 60 Colors Glitter Watercolor Set is the clearest fit. For drawing and multi-surface marker projects, the 80 Colors Art Drawing Markers Set covers the most ground. For young children and easy cleanup, the Washable Finger Paint Set is the one to pick.
