At KidsArt, we do our best to provide only AP and CP Nontoxic certified products, or alert you if a product does not carry this certification.
It is your responsibility to examine and confirm the safety and age-appropriateness of art materials before they are used. For a list of certified AP and CP Nontoxic products, visit the Art and Craft Materials Institute.
Sponge printing and brush painting with child-safe tempera paints are the core of art education for children.

"Hi, Kim, Jan Stuart here. I'm shredding old checks and things and, in 1994, I did a lot of business with KidsArt. :-) You published a picture of a "boxadon" drawn by my daughter, Shannon, in KidsArt. Thought you
might like to know she's now an accomplished illustrator in anime and manga... Thank you for nurturing a young artist."

What makes an art material "safe"?
The Art and Craft Materials Institute website states: "Knowledge of materials and their proper use makes them safe. Be sure to read the label on all products you use so you will know they have been evaluated and are non-toxic or need special handling to avoid possible health hazards from misuse. Look for the ACMI Seals so you will know the product has been evaluated by a qualified toxicologist for both acute and chronic hazards. Or, you may see other indications that the product conforms to ASTM D 4236, the chronic hazard labeling standard that is now part of the U.S. labeling law. Follow all safe use instructions. Purchase only products with the ACMI Non-Toxic Seals [CP, AP, and HL (Non-Toxic)] for young children, the physically or mentally handicapped, and any persons who cannot read or understand the safety labeling on product packages. Observe good work habits and teach them to others."
