Finger Paints Carioca set, 8 colors, tempera for finger painting, MPN 429674

Carioca Finger Paints set with 8 colors provides a water-based tempera formula designed specifically for finger painting and early childhood art activities. The paints are formulated for easy application with fingers, allowing children to explore color blending and texture on paper and similar absorbent surfaces. This set is presented in a compact, user-friendly format that supports guided activities in preschool, classroom art lessons, and home crafting sessions.

Advantages

The tempera composition is water-soluble, which facilitates straightforward cleanup from hands and most washable clothing when treated promptly. The creamy texture spreads easily under fingertip pressure, enabling clear color coverage and smooth blending without the need for brushes. The selection of eight basic colors offers a practical palette for mixing secondary tones and introducing color theory in early learning environments.

How to use

Apply the tempera directly to paper using fingertips to create strokes, prints or blended areas. For easier mixing, place small amounts of different colors close together and swirl gently with a finger. Maintain a protective covering on the work surface and wear an apron or smock to reduce splashes on clothing. After painting, rinse hands with warm water and mild soap; most residues will wash away due to the water-soluble formula.

Usage recommendations

Use heavier-weight paper or cardstock to prevent warping and bleeding when applying multiple layers. Supervise young children during use to ensure safe handling and to encourage technique such as finger stamping and controlled blending. Store containers tightly closed in a cool, dry place to preserve consistency and prevent drying between sessions.
