I ordered this paper for my son's 2nd birthday. We've only used it for watercolor painting - and the paper tears easily when it's too wet (which is a little annoying if it's meant for watercolor painting) - but we also know that two-year-olds aren't exactly graceful and tender when sticking wet . brush on paper either. So that's it - for the price, a very large notepad with lots of sheets is well worth it.
