Best Practices
Prepare Your Space:
Cover your table with newspaper or a plastic tablecloth. It's like a superhero cape for your furniture! Put on some old clothes or a smock — let’s keep the paint on the paper, not your pants!
Open with Care:
Give the bottle a good shake-shake-shake to wake the paint up! Then, slowly open the cap so it doesn’t go splat!
Let’s Get Painting!
Paint on paper, cardboard, wood — even rocks or seashells you found on the beach! Brushes go back into the right bottle so your colors don’t get mixed-up. And when you're done, cap it and clean it — that keeps your paints fresh and ready for next time!
Drying Time:
Your artwork will be dry to the touch in about 15–30 minutes — just enough time for a snack break! Yummm. Make sure it’s all the way dry before you pick it up or show it off.
Clean-Up Time:
Wash your hands and work space with warm water and soap — splish, splash! Uh-oh! Got paint on your clothes, the floor, or even the couch? Tell a grown-up super fast! The sooner they know, the easier it is to clean! The paint comes off skin and most clothes, but the sooner you clean, the better it works.
​
Tip from the experts: Painting fun doesn’t have to mean messy cleanup! We always keep a pack of WaterWipes nearby — they’re our go-to for wiping little hands, tabletops, and even stray splatters. No sink? No problem! Just wipe, toss, and keep the creativity flowing.
Away for the day:
Put the cap back on tight so your paint doesn’t dry out at night. Store your paints standing up in a cool, dry place, ready for your next masterpiece!
