Whether your child is engaged in art activities in a public setting or at home, it’s important that only non-toxic and safe art materials are used.
First, materials and tools should be age appropriate (e.g. pre-schoolers should not be given sharp scissors or tools or very small objects that they might swallow). Second, make sure that art materials are non-toxic by checking to be sure they have the AP seal for non-toxicity & quality and they conform to ASTM D-4236 (this is a US labeling regulation and this is what it looks like). Also check that the products are washable by checking for washability on the label. Finally, to ensure a safe art experience, make sure that the space in which the art activity is done has proper ventilation.
