There are several compact options to choose from i There are several compact options to choose from if your child likes watercolor painting. Favorites include a 1) compact kit set that include colors, brush with water enclosed in the brush for a mess-free experience, and pad to dry the brush tip or 2) color sheets that can be used with a brush and water. This second option is the most compact but can get messier as you have your water to hold, while the first option offers a bit more control as the water is enclosed in the brush. ⁣
