FAQs
What is included in the Easter Plaster Kit?
The kit includes one pre-molded white plaster figure of a bunny surrounded by flowers. All painting supplies (paints, brushes, etc.) need to be purchased separately.
What kind of paint should I use?
Acrylic paints or tempera paints work best on plaster surfaces. Ensure the paints are non-toxic if children will be using the kit.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the type and thickness of paint used. Allow at least a few hours for acrylic or tempera paints to dry completely, and longer for multiple coats or thick applications.
Can this kit be used by very young children?
Yes, with adult supervision. Younger children may need assistance with painting details, and care should be taken to ensure they do not ingest paint or plaster fragments.
Can I use this as an Easter decoration?
Absolutely. Once decorated and dried, the plaster figure makes a charming and personalized addition to your Easter decor.
Do I need to prime the plaster before painting?
Priming is optional but recommended for a smoother finish and more vibrant colors. A simple white acrylic primer works well.
How should I clean the finished decoration?
Dust gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well to plaster
Ensure the plaster surface is clean and completely dry. For best results, consider applying a thin layer of white acrylic primer before painting with your chosen colors.
Plaster figure chipped or broken
Handle the plaster figure with care, especially during the painting and drying process. Minor chips can sometimes be disguised with paint or a small decorative element. For larger breaks, craft glue may be used, but the repaired area may be visible.
Paint colors look dull
Use high-quality acrylic paints for brighter, more vibrant results. Applying a white base coat or primer first can also help colors pop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The plaster figure is ready to be painted immediately upon unboxing. Ensure you have a protected surface to work on, such as newspaper or a craft mat, to avoid paint stains.
Compatibility: This kit is compatible with most standard acrylic paints, tempera paints, and craft paints. You will also need brushes of various sizes. Optional decorative elements like glitter, googly eyes, or felt can also be used.
Care: Once painted and fully dry, the plaster figure can be wiped gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the paintwork or the plaster itself. Keep out of reach of very young children who might still place items in their mouths.
