Eco Art & Craft manufactures its products in Australia under direct family ownership and oversight, operating from a 100% off-grid facility. Ingredient sourcing prioritises reputable suppliers with compliance documentation and traceability, including HJ Langdon, a SEDEX member with documented quality assurance frameworks. All products are 100% vegan, free from animal-derived ingredients and not tested on animals. Formal third-party testing processes commenced in 2025 to substantiate product safety and formulation integrity. The brand also maintains a commitment to a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace culture.
Eco Art and Craft operates from a 100% off-grid facility in Northern NSW powered entirely by on-site solar energy stored in battery systems, with all operational water sourced from harvested rainwater. Packaging has transitioned to fibre-based materials designed for composting or recycling, with ongoing removal of plastic components. Powdered paint formats extend shelf life and minimise product waste, while botanical pigment systems reduce reliance on fossil-fuel derived synthetic dyes. Small-batch production reduces overproduction and excess inventory waste.
Eco Art & Craft supports regional economic activity by prioritising Australian suppliers and local manufacturing, and engages with nature-based playgroups and early childhood groups across Australia to encourage earth-friendly craft materials and nature-connected creative play. The brand provides accessible education for families about the environmental impact and safety of craft materials through online platforms, and is committed to supporting families navigating grief by recognising creative practices as a gentle form of therapeutic expression and exploring partnerships with organisations supporting these families.

Product Reviews by Experts


I really loved these paints and the thought that has clearly gone into creating a genuinely safe and non-toxic alternative to conventional children’s art supplies. Knowing the colours are derived from vegetables, flowers, seeds and roots rather than synthetic ingredients gave me complete confidence in handing them over to my children without a second thought. It also gave us an opportunity to discuss colours in nature and how we can use things around us in different ways. We used them to colour homemade playdough while learning about primary colours but I also loved how versatile they are and the different ways they can be used for creative play. One of those rare products that beautifully combines children’s creativity, safety and conscious ingredient choices all in one. What stood out most to me is that sustainability and conscious business practices feel deeply embedded in every part of this brand rather than simply being part of the marketing. From operating fully off-grid using solar power and harvested rainwater, to compostable packaging, thoughtful ingredient sourcing and a commitment to creating genuinely non-toxic products, there is an incredible level of integrity behind everything they do. I particularly value brands that prove caring for children and caring for the planet can go hand in hand, and this business sets an exceptionally high standard in all areas. A true gold standard for sustainable and conscious business.


As a mum of two young children, what I loved most about this product was that it encouraged creative, hands-on play while also giving me confidence in what they were using. My children were immediately drawn to the paints, and I loved watching them experiment with the colours and get completely immersed in the activity. Knowing the colours are derived from vegetables, flowers, seeds and roots made the experience feel even more special. Learning that the business operates off-grid using solar power and harvested rainwater was incredibly inspiring, and it was clear that sustainability has been considered at every stage, not just within the product itself. I also love the focus on encouraging children to connect with nature.


We have such a wonderful time using Eco Art and Craft paints! It feels wonderful to know my little ones are creating with colours that have come from nature – vegetables, flowers, seeds and roots! The colours are soft and dreamy, great for even the littlest artists! You can tell these kits are made with so much love. I love the simplicity of the ingredients. Nothing unexpected, just simple and natural ingredients from nature. I feel so comfortable with my kids using these!
