...for a dd who still puts things in her mouth but is scribbling on the walls so needs a creative outlet!

I can only find things for 3+.

just because they say 3+ doesn't mean they are toxic though.

I'm pretty sure all paint marketted for children is non toxic.

True - she has loads of other stuff that's 3+ - I just feel a bit more cautious about a substance as it were...

it will be non-toxic though. If it's safe for a 3 yr old to ingest it's safe for a 2 yr old to ingest.

Yes, true. ok i'll just get those then. or use ketchup...

They'll all say 3+ because they have small lids which will count as "small parts".

If it's any consolation, my kids have ingested quite a bit of poster paint over the years and not come to any harm! The Early Learning Centre is as good a place as any. Do buy a painting apron while you're there, though!

I suppose if she's survived cat litter, she'll survive paint...

I mis-read the title as non-toxic toddler PANTS - now that wouldn't be possible as toddler pants are almost always toxic once they've been worn at least!

DD3 has eaten tons of elc finger paint. She's fine (ish..)
