Our verdict
Crayola's washable paint set gives you six non-toxic colours for £2.99, and the washable claim is the star: it comes off skin and most clothing, does not drip readily and does not separate. A 4.7 rating from 40,325 buyers says parents believe it. The Play-Doh Swirlin' Smoothies set at £8 is a toy blender with moulds for pretend fruit, toppings and cups, more of a structured pretend-play kit than open-ended art, rated 4.5 by 25,562. Painters versus role-players, really. For pure creative mess with easy clean-up, Crayola wins on price and rating; for imaginative cafe play, Play-Doh.
