Tempera Paint - Premium: Green
Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Premium tempera paint in green, 500 ml, from the range mixed to the colours of the Montessori materials. Green does double duty in a Montessori room: it is the units of the decimal code and it is the colour of the botany work, the leaf cabinet and everything grown on a windowsill. A child painting a plant and a child painting a quantity reach for the same bottle. Water based, water soluble, short drying time. The other colours are separate items.
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”
Green tempera paint serves as a fundamental tool for creative expression in the Children's House, offering children direct control over color application through the squeeze bottle design.
- Hand strength development through controlled squeezing of paint bottle
- Color theory understanding through mixing green with other colors
- Fine motor precision in directing paint flow onto paper
- Visual discrimination of green shades and tones

The vibrant green pigment invites exploration of nature-inspired artwork, allowing children to represent leaves, grass, and living things they observe in their environment. Through squeezing the paint bottle, children refine their hand strength and coordination while making deliberate choices about paint quantity and placement. The washable formula of this tempera paint respects the child's need to experiment freely without fear of permanent mistakes, encouraging bold artistic exploration. Green, as a primary color in many artistic traditions, provides essential opportunities for color mixing discoveries when combined with other tempera paints. The squeeze bottle format enables independent paint dispensing, eliminating the need for adult assistance and fostering the child's sense of capability in managing art materials.
