If I want a lasting product, I use acrylic and always just try to do these projects with kids in undies, and wash their hand immediately. The issue with washable paints is that they're water soluble (as they're intended to be), so if anyone drips a drop of water on the finished project/grabs it with wet hands/exposes it to steam b/c it's hanging in the kitchen, whatever, there's a good chance the art will bleed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-paint-for-handfootfingerprint-crafts#post-2816268 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:00:25 +0000 Jennibenni 2816268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: I have acrylic on hand but wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. Good to know. </p> <p>@kiddosc: I have a couple of those crayola paints so I’ll try those too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-paint-for-handfootfingerprint-crafts#post-2816266 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 17:48:22 +0000 Iced Tea 2816266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use acrylics since that’s what the pottery shop uses for these projects. Never had any issues with sensitivity. It washed off of skin easily but not from dishes and clothes, which is the point I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-paint-for-handfootfingerprint-crafts#post-2816239 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 13:58:31 +0000 kiddosc 2816239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Crayola washable paint. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Crayola-Safe-Kids-Washable-Paint/dp/B00DD2G0FQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1523645887&#038;sr=8-4&#038;keywords=crayola+paint" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Crayola-Safe-Kids-Washable-Paint/dp/B00DD2G0FQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1523645887&#038;sr=8-4&#038;keywords=crayola+paint</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-paint-for-handfootfingerprint-crafts#post-2816238 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 13:49:28 +0000 Jennibenni 2816238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of paint works best for handprint/footprint arts and crafts?
