I have twin 4 year olds and like all kids, they love to paint, color and create with clay. After “The Instigator” (twin B) ate a big handful of Play Doh it occurred to me that maybe I needed to find some truly nontoxic, natural art supplies.
We’ve been using Glob Natural Paint which I really love. It’s made of fruit and veggie pigments and the colors are just wonderful.
Ingredients: gum arabic, corn starch, natural colors (one or more of the following: fruit, vegetable, flower, and spice pigments), organic extracts and potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate as preservatives.
$16 for a set with colors and brushes
Clementine Art’s Natural Art Set includes crayon rocks. paint, clay, and all natural glue. The colors are bright and lovely and everything smells so nice. Crayon rocks are actually much easier for little ones to hold and use.

My kids love sidewalk chalk. Since it ends up all over them and gets washed down into drains and the local water supply, I wanted to find a natural, nontoxic version.
