So Versatile!
I love painting and watercolors and making crafts with my children. I bought a book for homemade crafts and they always use Powdered Tempera Paints for the colors. These were great, the colors were vibrant and so easy to use. They washed out pretty well, and were a BIG hit with my children. So far w...e've made props for our play "The Three Little Pigs," made pictures using colored bubbles, and painted a picture of our house for Grandma. Easy to use, does not go bad since it isn't pre-mixed, and fun colors. Another Great! Thanks.

OKAY PRODUCT
It worked very well but didn't know it wasn't washable. Can stain clothing or surface and was messier then premade paint did wipe up okay but a little concern it will stain easily. Wouldn't buy this in black again as powder. Will last longer if you don't use it as offten as ready made paint.

Perfect for our Youth Group color war! We mixed up 1 Ib of color for 2.5-3 lbs of corn starch and the coloration was perfect.

Great quality for a fantastic price. We do not use the powder for paint, but to color cloud dough, paper mache, homemade moon sand, etc. Vibrant colors, easy to mix.

I used this paint for a paint fight in a photo shoot. It was perfect. Exactly what we needed. Some people mention mixing it with cornstarch, but I didn't do that.

I ordered five bottles (orange, yellow, green, blue, and pink) to test this product for a fundraiser 5K my non-profit is organizing. I had nine high school students help me test it out, and we had a blast. The color stuck great; the green and orange were particularly vibrant. I even mixed it with a 1 to 1 ratio with corn starch to make the product go a little farther, and that also worked well. After showering, all the color came off their skin too!

We used for a paint war and was quite successful. The only color that we had challenges with dissolving was the green. The other colors purchased worked great. Very bright, colorful and lots of fun!

Colorations Powder Tempera Paint 1lb
Submitted 07/06/2014

Used for preschool & elementary art projects. Specifically "green" has a horrible smell if whole jar is mixed and not all used immediately. Even a day in a closed jar it smells. One or 2 of the other colors do that too, but green is the worst. It would be great if the jar opening were a little larger so you could use a wisk to mix it. I've bought several and none fit. Another idea is to sell separately or have it come in the jar - a large metal jack or something similar to the wire insert found in "blender bottles" or "shaker cups". I've tried some jacks and also small rocks.

Created powdered paint for a color-splashed fun run. All participants had a blast, even those who elected not to be splashed. Got calls for where to buy for other events/organizations. Referred them to discountschoolsuppy.com.
