This 8-color watercolor tray is an accessible, high-volume tool designed for early education and simple home crafts. The formulation is engineered for high washability, meaning pigments are designed to release from most fabrics during a normal wash cycle. The case is a simple polypropylene injection-molded tray that provides a clear view of the paints inside.
The set is built to be a reliable "disposable standard" for classrooms and large groups. Key features include:
- Verified non-toxic safety compliance (ASTM D-4236).
- A binder-heavy formula that favors easy cleanup over high pigment density.
- Securely glued pans that stay in place during transport and use.
- A lightweight design that is easy for small hands to carry.
To get the most out of the colors, it is recommended to add a few drops of water to each pan about a minute before starting to paint. The integrated hinge is part of the plastic mold itself, which is suited for moderate use throughout a semester. While the included brush is a basic starter, it is sufficient for the broad strokes and heavy saturation typical of younger students.
For a slightly larger palette with a more durable case, the Mr. Pen 2-pack is a great next step. For organizing these and other art supplies, take a look at our crayon and marker caddies.
