96 oz of finger panting goodness!
When I saw this on Amazon I misread this product as being six containers of paint totaling 16 oz; I assumed six containers of a bit over 3 oz per container. I was incorrect. This is six containers of 16 oz per container for a total of 96 oz of finger paint.

You get 16 oz each of red, green, blue, yellow, brown, and black. The paints are very smooth with saturated pigments and a very light, very inoffensive odor, reminiscent of the smell of weak Elmer's glue. Each container is topped with a screw-on cap. The opening is large enough for a small hand to fit all the way in but unless you really enjoy cleaning up finger paints this probably isn't the best way to let the kids use the paints. The bottles themselves are of sturdy plastic and are obviously capable of surviving a lot of abuse.

We had another brand of finger paint (unfortunately I forget the manufacturer's name) that was almost gelatinous with translucent colors, sort of like honey but without the stickiness. The Color Splash paints are very opaque (like tempra paint) with a consistency like pudding. The paints dry to an eggshell finish and doesn't easily flake (unless it's been caked on) from butcher paper, cardboard, and poster board.

The containers identify the contents as being washable; this is mostly true. My daughter had herself a good ol' time with these while wearing a white cotton onesie. All of the colors except black washed out in a normal machine wash. The only way we could remove the black was to bleach it out with undiluted bleach, and even then there were still some visible spots. Therefore it's a good idea to use a smock and/or lay in a supply of bleach if you intend on using the black paint. On the other hand, all six colors easily washed off skin, table and floor with regular soap and water.

TIP: I went to a local craft store and picked up half a dozen liquid soap dispenser pumps for about a buck apiece. After cutting a hole into each lid and mounting the dispenser pumps, I'm able to give my daughter a quick palette of whatever colors she wants in seconds, without opening the containers. When she gets older she'll be able to do this herself too, thus saving the potential "Daddy, I dropped the bottle of paint!" cries.

Lots of paint...does stain clothes sometime.
My children and I loved getting a bunch of paint to play with....quantity-wise, it's great. It did not wash out of some clothing it got on...including my white sweater. (Why was I wearing a white sweater during a paint session?........silly.)

Great paint
This is the first finger paint I bought for my daughter to go with her new easel...great value, good quality, nice quantity for the price, veryt satisfied with this purchase!
