Mont Marte Tempera Paint Set 12pc 500ml - Bright Washable Kids Paint

In this review of the Mont Marte Tempera Paint Set, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, kid-friendly paint collection for families and classrooms that need bold, washable colour without fuss. The set includes twelve 16.9 US fl.oz (500ml) bottles in a broad palette and the quick drying tempera style formulation makes cleanup and layering easier for young artists. This review focuses on how it performs on common surfaces, how colours mix, and whether it offers good value for parents, teachers and craft groups.

Key Features

• Large bottles: Each 500ml bottle provides extended use for multiple projects, reducing the need to repurchase frequently for classroom activities.
• 12 bright colours: The set covers primary and secondary colours plus gold and brown, allowing easy colour mixing and a wide range of palette options for children.
• Washable and water based: Paint washes from skin and most fabrics easily, making it practical for home and group craft sessions where spills happen.
• Non toxic and age recommended 3+: Formulated for safety so it is suitable for young children under supervision during art activities.
• Easy flip cap lid: The flip cap makes dispensing simple for small hands and helps control quantities to reduce waste.
• Versatile surfaces: Works well on poster board, cardboard and butcher's paper, which are common surfaces for children's projects.

Who It's For

The Mont Marte Tempera Paint Set is aimed at parents, preschool and primary school teachers, and activity leaders who need washable, non toxic paint in large quantities for group projects and repeated use. It is a good match when working on poster-size pieces, classroom murals, craft sessions or anytime vibrant, mixable colour is desired without specialist materials.

Those seeking artist-grade, lightfast acrylics or paints for canvas gallery work should look elsewhere, as this product is a tempera style, water based option intended for kids and general craft, not archival fine art use.
