Freeform painting allows preschoolers to express themselves without the constraints of specific instructions or patterns. Kit includes: 6 bowls, 12 plain rollers, 10 each of 3 sizes of brushes, 6 floppy brushes, 6 patterned rollers, 2 plastic paint trays with 4 angled wells, and 9 familiar shapes sponges.
