Art projects with kids aren't supposed to be neat and orderly. And, to be frank, when kids are involved, art products aren't always used strictly for art "projects." I vividly remember my son getting a hold of a purple marker in his bedroom and coloring his arms solid purple. So when it comes to your kids, is "safe and non-toxic" safe enough?That's exactly the question the inventor of Clementine Art products asked herself. As a teacher, she loved doing art projects with kids. But when she saw the splashes of paint in their hair and skin -- even in their mouths -- she wondered what actually went into those paints. It's good to know a product is non-toxic -- but what does that mean exactly?
According to Consumer Reports' Greener Choices, non-toxic implies that a product won't cause immediate or long-term adverse effects, but there are no specific standards for non-toxic. Clementine Art chooses to take non-toxic one step further. These all natural, American-made art products are made with truly safe products. So safe, in fact, the ingredients are listed on the label. Even the packaging is made of 80% post-consumer recycled and and reusable materials.
