to use 30+ year old paint?

[aufaniae]

My parents just gave me my old children's easel for DS, which they found at the back of a cupboard (brings back memories!) and a load of old powder paint & also blocks of paint.

Did they stop putting toxic stuff in paint by the 70s / 80s? Is it OK to use now?

Am pregnant at the moment so being extra paranoid vigilant!

I used powder paint in the 80's and I'm still here!

Wilkinson's do cheapish cleaner poster paints, maybe get new ones just in case?

Me too! (Although I wasn't pregnant then!)

Definitely going to get new ones when I get the time as the colour selection is very limited!

DS has seen them though and keeps asking to use them.
