Acrylic paint has been represented for decades to be "completely safe" because it is water-based, and therefore does not require a solvent to clean up. This is a myth, however, as the formaldehyde released by the paint in drying and absorbed by the skin from paint on hands, especially under the fingernails (which is highly absorbent) can lead to health problems. Don't believe the "safe" claims associated with acrylics--they should not be used by students in unventilated classrooms, for example, nor should they be freely allowed contact with the skin.

∙ 14y agoYes! Especially in older homes that may still have lead based paint. Most paint now is not as harmful as the lead based paint, but are we talking touching it? Eating it? Any paint that is eaten is not good, but yes some paints, even dried are toxic. Especially if they are also coated with sealant, etc. If you know your child has ingested dried paint, definitely call poison control for professional assistance.
