Colorations Tempera Paint Cakes Set — 6-Colour Jumbo Tray, Refillable & Low-Mess

Colorations 6TCA is a refillable tray of six jumbo tempera paint cakes—black, blue, green, orange, red and yellow—designed for tidy, low-mess painting at home or school.

This compact tray contains six large 2.5" diameter, 7/8" thick paint cakes that sit in a reusable plastic insert for easy storage and transport. The cakes activate with a damp brush for poster paints, sponge work, easel sessions or simple watercolour-style washes using extra water. These paints carry safety certifications appropriate for classroom and homeschool use and are formulated to avoid many common allergens.

How do these paint cakes simplify art time?

They remove the need to pour or mix paints, so setups are faster and cleanup is minimal. Each cake stays in place in the tray to prevent spills and reduce waste, making them practical for group activities or quick craft projects.

• Refillable tray keeps things organized between sessions.
• Jumbo cake size stretches use across multiple projects.

What painting techniques work best with these tempera cakes?

• Wet-on-wet washes by diluting with water for softer tones.

How long will a tray last and can it be refilled?

Longevity depends on project frequency and paint coverage, but the large cake diameter and thickness deliver extended use across many craft sessions. The plastic tray is designed to be refillable, allowing replacement cakes to extend the product's useful life.

• Each cake measures 2.5" diameter by 7/8" thick for extended use.
• Refillable tray saves cost over single-use packs.
