Product Information

Full details

The Konges Sløjd Watercolours Tin in the Safari design is an ideal creative companion for young artists seeking an intuitive introduction to painting. This portable set provides 24 vibrant, mixable colours that encourage artistic experimentation through a simple water-activation process, making it perfect for both home use and travel. While the set is designed for durability and ease of use, parents should note that because these are water-based paints, they may require adult supervision for younger children to prevent accidental mess on non-washable surfaces.

FAQs

Is this watercolour set non-toxic?

Yes, Konges Sløjd products are designed for children's use, though it is always recommended to discourage ingestion.

Can I replace the individual paint pans when they run out?

The set is designed as a complete unit. While pans aren't sold separately, the 24-colour variety is intended to last for many projects.

Will these paints wash out of clothes?

They are water-based, but because they are highly pigmented, it is best to wear an apron or old clothes when painting.

What kind of paper is best for these watercolours?

Watercolour-specific paper or any heavy cardstock (160gsm+) will provide the best results and prevent the paper from wrinkling.

How do I store the set after use?

Allow the paint pans and the brush to air dry completely to avoid moisture buildup inside the tin, then snap the lid shut for secure storage.

Troubleshooting

Paints appear dull or chalky on paper

You are likely using too much water. Try picking up more concentrated pigment from the pan and using less water on your brush.

Colours are bleeding into each other on the paper

Ensure your paper is of a high enough quality to handle water, or wait for individual sections to dry completely before painting adjacent areas.

Brush bristles are frayed or losing shape

After washing, gently reshape the bristles with your fingers and store the brush flat or with bristles pointing upward to maintain the point.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive range of 24 bright, blendable colours
  • Sturdy metal tin is perfect for portability and long-term storage
  • Easy for children to learn and activate with just water
  • Charming, high-quality aesthetic design
  • Encourages creative development and fine motor skills

Cons

  • Requires access to a clean water source for use
  • Paint may stain certain fabrics or porous surfaces
  • Small parts and paint pans require supervision for toddlers
  • Brush may require regular cleaning to prevent colour contamination

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the set, ensure you have a small container of clean water and a paper towel nearby for wiping the brush between colours. To maintain the quality of the paints, always allow the paint pans to air dry completely before closing the lid to prevent mildew or sticking.

  • Compatibility: Works best on medium-to-heavyweight paper (160gsm or higher) to avoid warping.
  • Care: Rinse the brush thoroughly in cold water after every session and reshape the bristles before letting it dry. Never leave the brush sitting in water, as this can degrade the ferrule and bristles over time. If the tin exterior gets dirty, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent rust.
