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 using primarily paraffin wax and colour pigment. While the basic ingredients remain consistent across all colours, variations may occur in special effects crayons. 

Our crayons are crafted through a process that involves melting paraffin wax and blending it with colour pigments. This mixture is then poured into molding machines where it solidifies in four to seven minutes. For a behind the scenes look of the Crayola Crayon manufacturing process, check out our video, You’ve Got Crayola Crayons. 

The right paint makes all the difference! Although all three types of Crayola® paint products are water-based, they aren’t all created alike. Check below to see what type of paint will work best for your next masterpiece. 

  • Crayola Portfolio Series™ Acrylic Paint and Crayola Acrylic Paint is permanent and somewhat lightfast on many different surfaces. They are generally used by adults and older children because of their permanence.
  • Crayola Premier™ Tempera Paint is permanent on paper surfaces. One coat coverage is all you need! It is generally used by adults and older children because of their permanence.
  • Crayola Tempera Paint is generally used by older children. It is an excellent choice for educators due to its superior mixability and blending of colors. 
  • Crayola Artista II® Washable Tempera Paints offers the same superior mixability and blending of colours as Crayola Tempera Paint, but in a formula that is washable from most launderable clothing and skin. 
  • Crayola Washable Paints are typically used by younger children because of their washability from most launderable clothing and skin. They are neither permanent nor lightfast.

Get the best results with these tips for cleaning your Scribble Scrubbies Pets.

Scrub Under Running Water: 

  • Gently scrub your pet under running water after play. Use the scrub brush to help release the marker inks from the tiny fibers (flocking). Do not wash your Scribble Scrubbie Pets in the dishwasher or bathtub.

Allow to Dry:

  • Allow your pets to dry before a second use. Colouring on damp pets can cause the ink to wick under the fibers, making the colour harder to rinse away. Let your pet air dry before storing it.

Soaking for Stubborn Stains: 

  • If colours persist after scrubbing under running water or have been on your pet for several days, consider soaking it in water for 20 minutes. For stubborn stains, an overnight soak may be necessary.

Additional Tips: 

  • Fresh colouring is easier to clean. Soap has little effect on cleaning your pets. Fresh colouring typically requires a rinse under the faucet, while concentrated colouring may require light scrubbing under a faucet or an overnight soak.

If your Crayola markers have become dry because the marker caps were left off for a brief time, we have some suggestions that may help! To revive water-based markers, such as Crayola regular, washable, or Ultra-Clean markers, you can try dipping the tip in warm water for about 5 seconds. After recapping the marker, we suggest waiting 24 hours before trying the marker again. If Crayola Gel Markers seem dry after remaining uncapped, try rubbing the marker back and forth on the drawing surface several times. If the marker still doesn’t work, replace the cap for 2 – 3 hours and then try using it again. If unsuccessful, you can dip the tip in warm water for about 5 seconds. After recapping the marker, wait 24 hours before attempting to use the marker again. Visi-Max Dry Erase Markers and Take Note! Dry Erase Markers are not water-based like traditional Crayola markers, and cannot be revived if they are allowed to dry out.

Dry Model Magic:

  • Paint with Crayola Watercolour, Tempera, Acrylic, and washable paints or decorated with Crayola Markers.

Wet Model Magic:

  • Colour with watercolour paint and markers; however, the colours will be lighter, and the pieces may take longer to dry.
  • Add colour before modeling by kneading drops of watercolour, tempera, acrylic, or washable paints into the compound.
  • Create your own colours by mixing white and different colours of Model Magic.
The basic ingredients in Crayola Markers are water and dye. A common experiment is to use paper chromatography to separate the dyes. When performing this experiment, you will find that not all Crayola Marker colours separate into different colours due to the nature of dyes utilized in creating marker colours. (Brown, violet and green markers work best). For example, only one dye is used to make our red colour marker, but a number of dyes are used to make our brown colour marker. In a chromatography experiment, the brown will separate into different colours; however, the red will not. A craft involving chromatography is available on our web site at chromatography craft.
