I am a therapist that works with children and have ruined clothes due to the children painting with tempera paint. The children also have ruined clothes. Is there a way to remove the dried paint from clothes?

So my children got two new clothing items 4 Christmas. I was hoping that some one would know how to remove the already dried paint. Is it hopeless some one please! The paint is not washable. It should not be on the bottle.

You can always go to a thrift store and buy a few men's shirts. We used to wear them to paint and always wore them with the buttons down the back and the sleeves rolled up ! I still have the one I wore in Kindergarten

Before I get the paint out, I put on a smock. The kids wear smocks, too. Liquid soap added to the paint does help, but isn't foolproof! I ruined a lot of good clothes in the classroom before I became consistent with wearing a smock!

When my husband was getting his undergraduate degree he worked at the campus daycare. What they did was add dish soap to the liquid tempura it would come right out. I think baby laundry soap added to it would work as well. Reva
