Kids & Art
From first finger paintings to professional-grade natural pigments, this is for anyone who makes things.
EcoWarehouse stocks eco-friendly everyday essentials for children and the full Natural Earth Paint range of non-toxic art supplies. The kids' range covers plastic-free on-the-go gear, natural sunscreen, gentle personal care, non-toxic craft supplies, and eco-friendly toys. The art range covers everything from beeswax crayons and watercolour kits for toddlers through to professional earth pigment sets, natural oil paint, and mediums for adult artists. Safe materials, no harmful chemicals, and nothing that ends up in landfill before its time.
Why natural art supplies matter
Conventional art supplies, particularly those marketed for children, frequently contain synthetic dyes, heavy metals in pigments, and solvent-based binders that are not safe for young children who mouth objects. Natural Earth Paint uses pure earth and mineral pigments with no synthetic dyes, heavy metals, or toxic binders, making them genuinely safe from toddler age upwards while producing rich, complex colours that synthetic alternatives can't fully replicate.

Frequently asked questions
EcoWarehouse is the primary NZ stockist of the full Natural Earth Paint range, available online at ecowarehouse.nz with NZ-wide shipping. The range includes children's kits, fine art earth pigment sets, natural oil paint, beeswax crayons, gesso, and mediums.
Yes. Natural Earth Paint uses pure earth and mineral pigments with no synthetic dyes, heavy metals from synthetic processing, or toxic binders. They are genuinely non-toxic and safe for children from toddler age. Adult supervision is recommended for children under 3 as with all art materials.
Mineral sunscreen using non-nano zinc oxide is the recommended choice for babies and young children in New Zealand. NZ has one of the highest UV indices in the world. Mineral sunscreen sits on the skin surface rather than absorbing into the bloodstream, works immediately on application, and is the least likely to irritate young sensitive skin.
Beeswax crayons use natural beeswax rather than paraffin wax (a petroleum by-product). They are non-toxic if mouthed, produce richer colour, are harder and more durable, and biodegrade at end of life. For young children who may mouth art materials, beeswax crayons are a significantly safer choice.
EcoWarehouse stocks bamboo toothbrushes and natural toothpaste for children, mineral sunscreen, natural body wash for sensitive skin, reusable stainless steel drink bottles and lunchboxes, Natural Earth Paint kits and beeswax crayons, natural face paints, and organic cotton personal care products.
Yes. Natural Earth Paint produces both children's kits and professional-grade fine art supplies including earth pigment sets, natural oil paint, drawing pigments, gesso, and linseed and walnut oil mediums. The same earth and mineral pigments are used by fine artists and children alike — the difference is in the format and presentation of the kits.
