Whether a child's creativity is being channeled through a finger or a paintbrush, this line of paint was created so that when the paint inevitably ends up in a young child's mouth, the all-natural ingredients present no cause for concern. The [natural eco-paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-colors-by-prodalim) in green, blue, yellow, orange and pink are made from powders, so that they are easily thinned or thickened as needed. Since the paints are nature-based, this should mean that there's also an easy clean up process afterwards. In addition to its paints, eco-kids also sells [crayons, dough and building blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woset) that put forth the same friendly features for kids and the environment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant-based Kids Products:** Opportunity to develop and market natural products for children that are safe and eco-friendly. - **Eco-friendly Paints:** Opportunity to create and promote natural paint products for consumers who are looking for environmentally-safe alternatives. - **Natural Crafting Materials:** Opportunity to innovate natural crafting materials that are safe for children and the environment. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Children's Products:** Opportunity to introduce more eco-friendly and natural children's products into the market. - **Paint and Coatings:** Opportunity to expand offerings to include natural, plant-based paints and coatings for consumers looking for eco-friendly alternatives. - **Crafting Materials:** Opportunity for manufacturers to incorporate natural and environmentally-friendly materials into craft products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Non-Toxic Kid-Friendly Make-Up Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-makeup-kit.md) - [Sleek Pollution-Reducing Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecos-1.md) - [Mess-Free Eco Craft Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-n-colour.md) - [Plant-Based Color Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exberry.md) - [DIY Colourful Dough Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dough-project.md) - [Kid-Safe Makeup Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jovy.md) - [Wood-Crafted Eco-Friendly Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-crayon.md) - [Plant-Based Food Coloring Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-colors-by-prodalim.md) - [Plant Pigment Beauty Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluency-beauty.md)
