Colorations® BioColor® Paint – Blue, 16 oz.

Description

Colorations® BioColor® Paint represents a significant step forward in children’s art supplies with its newly reformulated paraben-free formula, manufactured in the USA. This isn’t your typical tempera paint—BioColor’s unique properties make it remarkably versatile, with a rich, creamy consistency that spreads smoothly and dries to a beautiful glossy finish that won’t crack or fade over time.

What sets BioColor apart is its exceptional multi-surface adhesion capabilities. Unlike conventional paints, BioColor adheres beautifully to paper, cardboard, wood, metal, glass, plastic, and foil, opening up creative possibilities that extend far beyond traditional paper-based art projects. The paint’s distinctive formula ensures colors stay vibrant and separate rather than blending together, making it ideal for resist art, marbling projects, and blotting techniques.

Safety remains paramount with BioColor’s AP Certified non-toxic formula that meets ASTM-D4236 standards. The paint washes easily from skin with soap and water and is free from common allergens including latex, dairy, casein, egg, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, and soy. The generous 16-ounce bottle provides excellent value for families, offering enough paint for numerous projects while maintaining consistency and quality.

How Homeschoolers Can Use This Product

Science Integration: Transform art time into hands-on science learning by creating homemade watercolors using BioColor as a base. Mix the paint with cornstarch, baking soda, and vinegar to demonstrate chemical reactions while producing custom watercolor paints. This cross-curricular approach reinforces measuring skills, observation, and scientific method while creating art supplies.

Multi-Surface Learning: Take advantage of BioColor’s unique surface adhesion for practical learning experiences. Create window clings for seasonal decorations that double as lessons in light, color, and weather. Paint directly on glass jars for science experiments, use metal surfaces for magnetism demonstrations, or create educational displays on cardboard that will last throughout the school year.

Art History and Technique Studies: Introduce children to Jackson Pollock’s drip painting techniques using squeeze bottles filled with BioColor for authentic “action painting” experiences. The paint’s non-blending properties make it perfect for studying color theory and observing how different techniques create various visual effects.

Anatomy and Life Science: Engage children in memorable anatomy lessons by creating “x-ray” handprints using light-colored BioColor on their hands, then pressing onto white paper to study bone structure and human anatomy. This hands-on approach makes abstract concepts tangible and memorable.

Fine Motor and Sensory Development: The paint’s smooth, creamy texture provides excellent sensory feedback for younger learners while building fine motor skills through brush control, finger painting, and various application techniques. Use squeeze bottles for developing hand strength and coordination while exploring cause-and-effect relationships.

Practical Life Skills: Incorporate BioColor into real-world projects like painting wooden crafts, decorating storage containers for organizing school supplies, or creating durable labels for garden plants. These activities teach both artistic skills and practical home maintenance concepts.

Outdoor Education: BioColor’s indoor and outdoor versatility makes it perfect for nature study projects, weather-resistant garden markers, or temporary outdoor art installations that can withstand the elements while children observe how environmental conditions affect different materials.

The 16-ounce size provides excellent value for homeschooling families, offering enough paint for multiple children and projects while ensuring consistent quality throughout the school year. Its washability and safety profile give parents confidence during messy, creative learning sessions.
