Colorations Paints? Washable paints?

[MMMommy]

Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with Colorations paints sold at Discount School Supply? I'm interested in buying washable paints for DDs, and the prices seem pretty good ($1.69 for 16 oz. bottle of washable tempura paint). I've never really done painting projects at home (just markers, crayons, colored pencils) for fear of the mess. But I'm feeling adventurous for the kids' sake. Also, do you just pour the paint into paint cups and let them paint with a brush? Do you need to dilute the tempura paint with water at all? I am clueless in this department.

Thanks!

My son's (he is 2) school uses their paints. I haven't had any problems with washing the paint out of his clothes. I bought some for home and I don't dilute the paint. I use bowls for finger painting or non spill cups for painting with a brush.
