Children will paint on wet (fresco) plaster with non-toxic studio-tested earth based paints from the traditional fresco palette. And since the paints are made from nothing more than distilled water and powdered earth minerals, washing their clothes will be the easiest laundry you have ever done!

But try to wash away their painting after the plaster completely cures and you will discover why we still can see paintings from 35,000 years ago.
