Its a popular question we are asked here at KidzCraft.  Customers are sometimes unsure which type of paint to buy for children to use e.g. poster or acrylic.

We recommend 'acrylic paint' for the majority of craft painting activities using wood, paper mache, card, canvas, metal etc.  Its a great high quality water based non toxic paint so its safe for kids to use and easy to wash off hands too with a little warm soapy water.  It provides a great finish on all these materials.  These acrylic paints can be intermixed to create more colours too so the kids can get busy making new colours.  We have chosen a bunch of lovely bright fun colours that we know the kids will love, especially for parties.

Poster paints are great for younger children painting on paper and just having fun experimenting with colours.
