Today I would like to introduce you to a company called Clementine Art who makes awesome naturally non-toxic art supplies. Their line-up includes natural modeling dough, natural paint, natural markers, natural glue, natural crayons and natural crayon rocks. Their products contain only natural ingredients and are certified non-toxic and meet CPSIA requirements.
As a grandmother I am very concerned about the toys, arts & crafts supplies that I let my little granddaughter Gia play with so I have been actively looking for safe alternatives to conventional products and that is when I stumbled upon Clementine Art. This company is very green and they use packaging that is made from recycled stock and printed using soy ink in a wind powdered facility. If you ask me…that is very impressive!
My Review:
Clementine Art graciously sent me a box of their Natural Paints to use for my product review. Since my little Gia is a little too young for the paints just yet, I decided to let my 2 nephews try them out when they were down to visit a few days ago. These Natural Paints are colored with earth-based mineral pigments and they contain no dyes or synthetic additives. We received 1 jar of each of the following colors: red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue and black. These Natural Tempra Paints are washable and long-lasting so great for children to use on poster board for school projects, art canvas boards, etc.
The paints are pretty runny but very pigmented with color, so make sure you are careful when you open them as I spilled the black paint! LOL (it would be a good idea to put a drop cloth down or old newspapers onto your work surface before letting the children paint with them). Anyway, my 2 nephews had a blast with these paints and I left them paint on a few sheets of poster board that I had here. After they were done, I found that the paint cleans out of the paint brushes really easily with some liquid soap and warm water. Furthermore, they had it on their hands and it easily washed off…no scrubbing for days on end to get it off their hands.

I love how easy they wash off of your hands…you don’t need to scrub for hours & you don’t need any chemicals to get the paint off. I think every parent should own a box of these paints and keep them on hand for school projects, art projects or just creative rainy day fun! I give this company 2 grandma thumbs up!
