Goody King Paint Your Own Cat Lamp Kit

Great craft for 5 year old. She was able to replicate the design on the box and loves that she has her own nightlight! Great value and easy to use!

What an interesting idea! I really enjoyed completing this craft and I think children would as well. You can truly let your creativity shine on this project because even though it is a “moon” it doesn’t have to be painted that way. It’s really just a contoured sphere. I found the paints to be plentiful and a good texture. None of them were dried out or goopy. They’re also easy to clean up, which is a huge plus when children are involved. None of the colours stained my hands or the surface I was working on. There are enough colours (12) that I didn’t bother mixing any and the two paint brushes are good sizes for this project. The paint dries quickly enough – I was able to touch it about 30 minutes after painting. And, after leaving it to dry all night, I tried rinsing the globe under water to see if the paint came off and it did not. Once you’re done and it’s lit up, it’s cute and personalized. It offers a fair bit of light, even through the paint, and is probably a good level for a child’s bedroom.

The box comes with NO instructions but I think it’s probably pretty self-explanatory from the name on the box. A diagram of the stand might be useful for some as there is no picture of it on the box and you have to put it together. Of note: the sponges suck up a lot of paint (as sponges do) so using those quickly depletes your supply. I used 3 of the sponges a total of 14 times and I used up all of the white paint.

Overall, I was pleased with this craft and wouldn’t hesitate to give it to a creative child for their birthday.

Bought these for my daughter’s birthday. They were a bit smaller than I expected but so fun to paint.

I got the 2 cat set to do with my daughter. She chose laying down cat and I took the upright one.
Took us a while to decide how to paint them, but once we did we got started and it was fun because we like to paint.
The paints come with a lot of colors. But they’re pretty dry, so needed to be mixed with water and then clumps worked out before using.
The paints stick nicely to the base but require multiple coats to really cover the white base.
Our biggest disappointment came when she decided to see what they looked like with the light turned ON! Shock, horror, sadness.. after all our work they look TERRIBLE as nightlight! The light is a good brightness if you don’t care what it actually looks like though. That’s why these only got 3 stars from me.

I purchased two of these and painted them with my aunt. She really enjoyed it! It is nice that the paint, a paintbrush, and a paint tray are included with the light up cat sculpture. The only thing I would change would be perhaps a paint that goes on to the material thicker. Paint was a bit thin

I recently tested out the Goodyking Paint Your Own Dinosaur Lamp Kit, and here’s a breakdown of its features to save you scrolling through a book of details and my experience using it:

The Good Stuff:
– Kit includes a dinosaur lamp, 12 paint colours, 2 brushes, and a palette.
– Easy-to-use materials.
– Fun activity that kept kids engaged.
– Educational, helping improve fine motor skills and colour awareness.
– Doubles as a cute night light and room decoration.

Opportunities:
– Lamp is smaller than expected, making detailed painting harder for younger kids.
– Paint quality could be better; it leaves streaks and looks uneven when lit.
– Might not be as effective as a night light due to its size.

Bottom Line: Great for creative fun but small and streaky when lit.
