Do you offer helpful tips for using the Washable Paint Pour Art Set?

Have questions about your Washable Paint Pour Art Set? We have the answers!

For Best Results: 

  • Protect your clothing and work surface. Paint play can be messy!
  • Wet canvases will also need a protected, flat surface for drying.
  • Slow and steady when pouring your paint. 
  • Let your canvas dry for at least 5 minutes before removing it from the tray.
  • Use the basic pour technique for a unique outcome each time.
  • Use the advanced pour techniques with strainer for amazing patterns.
  • Try it with neon, metallic or glitter paints too!

Pro Tips:

  • Use the tray handles to tilt and turn the canvas in any direction.
  • When the picture is complete, use the handles & tray to carry wet canvas to your drying area.
  • Use 3 to 4 colours for the most interesting results; colours will mix and blend to create unexpected new shades.
  • Rinse the beaker before adding a new colour.

Make sure you have these items before starting your project (not included in your set):

  • Water
  • Paper Cups
  • ½ Tablespoon
  • Paper Towels
  • Painters Tape
  • String

Refills:

  • Need more canvases to keep the fun going? We recommend purchasing thin, 6×6 canvases (that aren’t specifically intended for use with acrylic paint) at your local craft store or online at Amazon. 

Cleanup! Always do the following before storing your set:

  • Rinse paint off of the bowl, adapters, tray, strainer, handles, breaker, and pipette. 
  • Re-cap the paint bottles securely. 
  • Do not pour any used paint back into the original container.

Popular Questions

Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and colour pigment. Paraffin wax is made especially for Crayola by companies who extract it from products like wood and coal. Pigments come from various sources. They can be natural or man made substances. Pigments can be found in the earth, minerals and/​or made in laboratories. These raw materials are purchased from outside suppliers and are stored in our warehouse awaiting production. All of our raw materials are delivered by truck with the exception of paraffin wax, which is delivered in railroad cars. Further information is considered proprietary. If you need more information, please call us at (800) 272‑9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time. A representative will be happy to assist you.
In 1993 we conducted a poll to find out the most popular colours in America. Blue was voted the most popular CRAYOLA Crayon colour. Rounding the top ten were red, violet, green, carnation pink, black, turquoise blue, blue green, periwinkle and magenta. In 2000, we did another Crayola Colour Census, and blue again reigns as number one!

The basic ingredients contained in Crayola Crayons are paraffin wax and colour pigment. The ingredients are the same for all Crayola Crayon colours, with some modifications in special effects crayons. We manufacture almost 3 billion crayons each year. The paraffin wax is melted and mixed together with pre-measured amounts of colour pigments. We purchase the powder pigments and either use individual colours or mix the pigments to produce the many colours of Crayola Crayons. The hot wax mixture is poured into moulding machines. In about four to seven minutes, the crayons cool and become solid. The crayon manufacturing process can be viewed on our web site by visiting http://​www​.cray​ola​.com/​f​a​c​t​o​r​y​/​p​r​e​v​i​e​w​/​f​a​c​t​o​r​y​_​f​l​o​o​r​/​c​r​a​y​o​n​_​m​f​g.htm. There is a book available titled ​“Crayons From Start To Finish”. The book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the whole manufacturing process. To obtain this book, please visit your local library. As a further reference, the ISBN is 1−56711−390−7 and the author of the book is Samuel G. Woods.

Decorating sculptures made with Crayola® Air-Dry Clay is fun and easy!

  • Paint: Thoroughly dry pieces may be painted with tempera, acrylic, or watercolour paint
  • Markers: Non-Permanent & Washable Markers may not provide optimal coverage if you are colouring a large area of clay since the clay tends to clog the marker nib. Permanent pigment-based markers work well for writing words on the clay.
  • Glitter Glue can be used to decorate dry artwork.

Other product suggestions: pigment-based stamping pads and metallic powder pigment embellishments.
