Review on Crayola Arista II Washable Tempera Paint, Primary Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue – 3 ct 8-OZ Bottles for Classroom Projects by Jessica Lewis

I love this color! The price is very cheap, the color is bright, the color is thick so it won't spread, but the best part is that it can be washed. My 3 year old has this color everywhere: carpet, hardwood floors, his and my clothes, his sister's hair. He came out of it all with some water and a very small scraper. I also like the fact that it's non-toxic since it's made from organic compounds, so even if it ends up in his mouth (which it is), it doesn't matter. I've been wondering what tempera means, and my research led me to define it simply as a quick-drying paint made up of a pigment and a binder, like egg yolk. This also makes the color very durable. Some tempera paintings still exist from the first century AD so the finger painting my 3 year old just made has been around for maybe a while!
