Yes. Acrylic paint is generally the best choice. Here’s why:
Porous surface: Cardboard is porous, and acrylic paint adheres well to it without excessive soaking or warping.
Non-toxic:
Many acrylic paints are non-toxic and safe for children. Look for labels that specify “AP certified non-toxic” or similar.
Water-based
cleanup: Acrylics are water-based, making them easy to clean up with soap and water. This is convenient for both kids and adults.
Versatile:
Acrylic paints come in a wide variety of colors and finishes, giving you plenty of options for decorating your Fort creations.
Fast drying: Acrylics dry quickly, which means less waiting time and less chance of smudging.
Note: Please read the safety warnings before attempting to paint your Fort creation.
