FAQs

What age group are these brushes best suited for?

These brushes are ideal for children aged 4 to 11, covering Foundation and Key Stages 1 & 2. They are also beneficial for individuals with special needs who require easier-to-grip art tools.

Can these brushes be used with oil paints?

These brushes are designed for water-based paints such as tempera, poster paint, gouache, and acrylics. They are not recommended for use with oil-based paints.

How many brushes are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 brushes.

What makes the handle 'easy grip'?

The handles are short, stubby, and ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in small hands, providing better control and reducing fatigue.

Will the brushes roll off the table?

No, the handles are specifically designed to prevent the brushes from rolling off surfaces.

Are the bristles made of synthetic or natural material?

The brushes feature natural bristles that are designed to retain paint well.

How should I clean the brushes after use?

Clean the bristles promptly with soap and water after each use. Rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and allow them to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Bristles splaying or not returning to shape

Ensure bristles are thoroughly cleaned and conditioned after each use. Reshape them while wet and allow them to air dry. Persistent splaying may indicate significant wear.

Paint not applying smoothly

Check if paint has dried on the bristles. Clean the brush thoroughly. Ensure the paint being used is adequately thinned or of appropriate consistency.

Handle feels uncomfortable for adult use

These brushes are specifically designed for children's hands. For adult use or more detailed work, consider larger brushes with longer handles.

Care: To ensure the longevity of the brushes:

  1. Clean Promptly: Wash the bristles thoroughly with soap and water immediately after each use. Avoid leaving paint to dry on the bristles.
