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?

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.
