Tempera Paint
Does tempera paint come out of clothing?

I’m doing a project with 3-5 year olds involving tempera paints. Is it washable from their clothing? If not, what are some good ideas that don’t cost much (if anything) to prevent them from ruining their clothes?

Tempera *should* wash out of clothing. I’ve taught Art for five years and have found that yellow can sometimes be a pain… what I do with my little ones is have them wear a paint shirt (old button down shirts put on backwards work great) and have a bottle of Shout nearby for any major incidents. But it basically should wash out without a problem if you use the typical tempera paints available (like Crayola or Prang). Watercolors are really great for the little ones as well and are washable. If possible, tell the parents that they will be painting and have them wear old clothes and bring a paint shirt.
