Crayola Silver Tempera Paint (16 oz) - Metallic Finish, Nontoxic, Squeeze Bottle for Kids' Art Projects

This Crayola Silver Tempera Paint comes in a 16-fluid-ounce squeeze bottle with a metallic finish. It is a nontoxic, opaque paint designed for paper, cardboard, papier-mâché, and more. Suitable for kids' classroom projects, parties, and everyday crafts.

What makes this silver tempera paint stand out?

The paint offers a rich, creamy consistency that flows smoothly from the brush. Its metallic silver color is highly pigmented, so one coat is enough for full coverage on most surfaces. Once dry, the paint does not chip, flake, or powder off, and it won't bleed through thinner materials like newspaper. The formula is also freeze-thaw stable, meaning it won't separate if exposed to temperature changes. The squeeze bottle features an airtight flip-top lid to keep the paint fresh between uses.

Where can you use this paint?

This tempera paint works well on a variety of indoor surfaces, including paper, cardboard, and papier-mâché. It is a common choice for school art projects, birthday party activities, and general arts and crafts at home. Because it is opaque, it can cover darker backgrounds and blend with other colors to create custom shades.

Is it safe for children?

Yes, this Crayola paint uses a nontoxic formula, making it safe for both kids and adults. It is a popular option for classrooms and daycare settings where safety is a priority. As with any art material, supervision is advised for very young children.
