Crayola Premier Tempera Paint, 32 oz, White – Non-Toxic, Matte Finish, Multi-Surface Art Paint for Kids
Crayola Premier Tempera Paint in white is a 32-fluid-ounce (quart) bottle of richly pigmented, matte-finish paint designed for children's art projects. This tempera paint offers opaque coverage on surfaces like paper, cardboard, wood, and ceramic, making it a versatile choice for school projects, birthday parties, and everyday crafting. The paint is non-toxic and formulated to be bleed, chip, and flake resistant, plus it's freeze-thaw stable for extended storage.
What makes this white tempera paint different from standard craft paints?
This Crayola tempera paint delivers vibrant, opaque color in a single coat. Unlike some washable paints that can appear chalky or sheer, this paint provides rich coverage that helps artwork stand out. The matte finish reduces glare on finished pieces, which is especially useful for classroom displays or photography of projects. Its smooth consistency means less streaking and easier blending when mixing custom hues.
Which surfaces work best with this paint?
The manufacturer recommends using it on cardboard, ceramic, paper, and wood. Because it's a tempera, it adheres well to porous surfaces but may require a primer on very glossy or non-porous materials. For best results, apply to clean, dry surfaces. The paint dries to a matte, opaque finish that resists chipping and flaking once fully dry.

A practical choice for classrooms and home art time
With a generous 32-ounce bottle, this paint is well-suited for group activities. The easy-squeeze bottle lets kids dispense paint without making a mess. Because it's non-toxic, it's safe for young artists, though supervision is always recommended. The paint's freeze-thaw stability means it can survive colder storage conditions without separating—a practical perk for art rooms or garages that aren't climate controlled. Its bleed resistance helps keep colors where they're painted, reducing frustration during detailed work.
Common questions about this product
Can I use this paint on fabric?
The recommended surfaces are cardboard, ceramic, paper, and wood. The specifications do not mention fabric, so for textile projects, a fabric-specific paint would be a better choice.
Does this paint require any sealant after drying?
The manufacturer does not specify a need for sealant. Tempera paint is generally water-soluble even after drying, so applying a clear acrylic sealer can help protect finished pieces that may get wet or handled frequently, but it's not required for typical display.
How does the white compare to other white paints?
This Crayola white tempera is formulated to be highly pigmented and opaque, so it covers darker surfaces well. It mixes cleanly with other colors to create pastels or tints. The matte finish minimizes shine.
Is it washable?
The product information does not describe it as washable. Tempera paints are typically water-soluble when wet but can become more resistant once dry. For easy cleanup from skin and non-porous surfaces, wash promptly with soap and water.
