Many products in this collection carry AP Certified Non-Toxic certification, making them appropriate for ages 3 and up. We also stock paraben-free formulations like the Colorations Colors Like Me Washable tempera paint, designed specifically with young learners in mind.

Look for products marked as washable, including Colorations Simply Washable Fluorescent Neon Tempera and other washable formulations. These paints are designed to clean up easily from hands, clothes, and surfaces, helping you minimize post-project cleanup time.

Container sizes range from 16 oz bottles for individual or small-group work to gallon and half-gallon jugs for large-scale projects and frequent use. Handy Art® offers convenient half-gallon acrylic sets, while Colorations provides a gallon pump accessory to make dispensing from bulk containers effortless.

Products are available both as individual colors and multi-color sets, giving you flexibility to restock favorite shades or build a complete palette. Individual 16 oz bottles of Colorations Paraben-Free Acrylic Paint let you replace high-use colors like black, white, and red without buying full sets.

Explore finishes including fluorescent, metallic, glitter, and glossy effects that add visual interest to student artwork. Colorations Fluorescent BioColor Paint delivers vibrant neon hues, while glitter paint options create eye-catching textures without needing separate embellishments.

Acrylic paints offer thicker consistency, stronger coverage, and permanent adhesion to surfaces like canvas, wood, and cardboard, while tempera paint provides easier washability and lighter texture for paper-based projects. Acrylics are ideal for craft projects, dimensional work, and older students creating portfolio pieces.

Colorations Colors Like Me Paraben-Free Washable tempera paint offers eight specially formulated shades representing the world's diverse skin tones. This set helps children create inclusive self-portraits and figure drawings that reflect their own identities and those of their classmates.
