The Prang Mini Watercolor Set is a compact tool designed for student desks or field-sketching. It uses a thin-walled polystyrene base with a flexible polypropylene insert to hold the paint pans. The pigments are AP-certified non-toxic and use a semi-moist binder that provides a better "lift" of color compared to many other budget brands.
This mini set is optimized for portability and ease of cleanup. Key functional features include:
- A small footprint that fits easily into a backpack or a crowded craft drawer.
- A semi-moist profile that makes it easy to get a good amount of pigment onto the brush.
- Non-toxic certification that meets the highest safety standards for home use.
- A clear lid that protects the paints from dust while allowing you to see the colors.
The plastic hinge is designed for portability, and the clear lid should be kept out of direct sunlight for long periods to prevent warping. The included brush is a basic tool for beginners; users may find that storing it with the bristles protected helps maintain its shape. Because of its size and safety profile, it is a practical choice for K-5 students.
If you need a more durable case for frequent travel, the Winsor & Newton Cotman set features a high-impact polypropylene housing. Organize your field supplies with our pencil cup organizers.
