Tempera paint, also historicallly known as egg tempera, is a permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of coloured pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder medium (usually a glutinous material such as egg yolk or some other size).
Tempera paint is water-soluble, and the majority of tempera paint available is non-toxic. The paint's creamy consistency helps it flow smoothly onto paper, cardboard, cloth, wood, or canvas and provides excellent coverage, which allows kids to use a variety of creative painting techniques.
