Kids Painting Materials Check List

This materials check list is designed for kids, not for advanced artist.
This 7 materials must have checklist is my solution to helping children practice painting with ease.

Paints – Use kid safe non-toxic paint only

Tip: Be sure the label says conforms to ASTM D 4236, safe for kids under 12 years of age

Smock – To protect clothes from paint stains

Hack: Show kids how to use a smock to wipe painted hands off on, this helps kids from spreading paint
messes around the room. This keeps them from getting up and down to wash hands

Palette – A place to hold paint, and mix colors

Hack: Using a palette will help not waste paint, the wells built-in help you pour small portions at a time.
When pouring paint on a large surface, it’s easy to over pour and waste paint

Paintbrushes– Have one large, medium and small on hand

Tip: Large paintbrushes are great for backgrounds and wide areas, medium paintbrushes can be used
for basic brushstrokes. And a small paintbrush can help paint small details.

Wash Jar – For cleaning paint off paintbrushes, and changing

colors in between brushstrokes
Hack: Use a wide bottom jar to avoid spills. It’s easy for kids to spill when the bottom is narrower than the top.
A wide bottom has been a blessing from keeping common spills from happening

Napkins– For drying paintbrushes, keep tucked under water jar

Tip: Only use napkins for paintbrushes. Explain to kids the napkin stays under the water jar and is not for
hands, or cleaning messes up.. This ensures paint from spreading around. Once done painting, they go
right into the trash.

Baby Wipes – For wiping hands after painting session

Hack: Only pass out baby wipes to children at the end of their painting session. Baby wipes can remove all
types of paints off skin, even acrylic. Again, remind students during painting to use their smock for keep-
ing hands tidy, using a wipe singals they are done with painting

Hi, I’m Spramani Elaun, and I’ve discovered exactly how

early childhood to elementary grade students learn art
naturally.

For 20 years I’ve taught children of all ages how to paint,

draw, mix colors, sculpt clay, and craft.

My success is led by my observations and real-life practice

of how children cognitively and sensorially process art.

My art method has been taught to tens of thousands of

children internationally, and now I’m bringing the best
of my knowledge and experience into classrooms and
homes.
