Paintbrushes for kids and classrooms are made from child-friendly materials that stand up to repeated use and prolonged soaking in water, solvents, and paints. Some of these brushes also have colorful synthetic brush fibers and large handles that assure a secure grip for small hands and make the painting experience both fun and educational.
For more advanced students, natural brushes offer an introduction to studio etiquette and how to care for fine artist tools, an important lesson for students of all ages and skill levels. Available in taklon, nylon, and natural/synthetic fiber blends, synthetic paintbrushes are a good choice for classrooms and other large-group learning environments not only because they perform much like natural brushes, but because they cost less.
