Using paint to transform something generic into something unique can not only make for a fun project but the unique toys you create can be passed down the generations, plus they make the perfect personalised gift!
If you fancy taking on some toy transformation, make sure you have the right size paint brushes so you can decorate even the most hard to reach spots. The paint is water-based and most importantly, it is certified Toy Safe meaning they meet EU safety standards, so all you need to worry about is picking the right project to keep your little ones smiling….
My question is are any of the others better than the other, from manufactured non-toxic paint, to natural? Has anyone used either or? Hi There! Love The Info. I generally like to let painted objects cure for quite a long time before sealing—an entire week, sometimes. I am so happy to have found your page! What brand of liquid water colors do you use? Thank you! We will also discuss a few of our wooden toys brands to ensure you we only source from responsible suppliers for the safety of your little ones!
In general, anything you purchase in the UK, created by a UK or EU toymaker, should be considered as a safe toy to play with.
A manufacturer is required to carry out a safety assessment and examination before placing a toy on the market. They can refer to the Europa website for assessment guidance, or the British Toy and Hobby Association. According to gov. The tests and examinations must satisfy the requirements in a few areas, including Choking risks particularly for toys intended for children under 36 months , Magnetic parts having a flux over the required limit is not permitted , and Chemicals.
All of the wooden toys we source are currently from UK manufacturers and suppliers. When it comes to the paint and finishing used on the wooden toys, the products must satisfy the requirements set in the Chemicals section of the regulation. Milk Paint is the most obvious first choice for wooden toys.
It comes in a powder and you mix it yourself with water. If the wood already has a finish on it, I would likely skip Milk Paint. If it needs to be primed with an acrylic bond coat it defeats the purpose of going with a non-acrylic paint just use a conventional paint in that case.
It requires a topcoat to be durable in any way to water otherwise the finish is quickly ruined. If you are painting toys you almost certainly want an all-natural and completely food safe topcoat. You can use any of the drying oils which do form a film that makes it durable to water and cleanable.
Tung oil is the most durable of the organic drying oils just be sure to give it the full 30 days to cure. Hemp oil and walnut oil are not quite as waterproof but the odors are milder. Shellac is a food-safe resin that is even used to coat some foods. ECOS Paints and other acrylic paints can be used on toys as well.
