Tempera Paint - Premium in a child's hands
Premium tempera paint in grey, 500 ml, from the range mixed to the colours of the Montessori materials. Grey is the odd one in a children's paint range and it is here for a reason: the materials use grey where a hierarchy has to be marked without a new colour, and grey is also what a child reaches for when a picture needs weather rather than objects. Water based, water soluble, good coverage, short drying time. The other colours are separate items.
