Crayola paints and accessories are high-quality, kid-friendly products.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Know that, while Crayola is best known for its crayons and markers, it has a line of paints and accessories that are colorful and easy to use.

  2. Step 2

    Expect to pay under $4 for each paint product.

  3. Step 3

    Understand that paint comes in pans or bottles. Pans contain small amounts of dried paint that is activated by water. Bottles contain wet paint and come in 2, 3.5 or 8-ounce bottles. The larger the bottle, the bigger the value.

  4. Step 4

    Choose the paint that suits your child's needs the best. Pan paints are best for children who like lots of color choices. Bottled paints are best for children who do a lot of painting.

  5. Step 5

    Realize that all paints are washable as long as they say "Washable" on the container. Crayola Premium Watercolors are an example of paints that are not washable.

  6. Step 6

    Notice that Crayola makes paint brushes - its Project Brushes, Arts and Crafts Brushes, and No Mess Painting Sponges, which are terrific sponges with handles.

  7. Step 7

    Be sure to buy the Crayola Art Smock to keep your child's clothes clean during painting.

  8. Step 8

    Give some thought to the Washable No Spill Paint. These paints come in wide-mouth, no-spill bottles for easy use.

  9. Step 9

    Purchase your Crayola paint products from the shopping list below or from online or local retailers.

Tips & Warnings
  • Purchase some Crayola paper products for use with the paints.
