With 30 plus kids in my primary classes, my students and I need tools that will streamline the painting process. We need supplies that are easy to use, easy to cleanup, and fun! My students need tempera cakes and paint daubers to make painting simple and stress-free. Paint daubers are a great tool for small hands - the paint comes out in a smooth, controlled line, and they are easy to manipulate. Tempera cakes are similar to watercolors and less messy than liquid tempera. Both of these items will give my budding artists many opportunities to paint - which they love!
