I've always wanted to try using #MilkPaint, but it's not cheap! I *might* try and make my own at some point... This is one recipe, but I'm sure there are others out there... When using milk paint, one should probably use a finish to protect the surface. I've read about recipes involving beeswax that I'll look around for...
#Appropedia - "Curdled milk paint recipe
The following is a recipe for quark, or curdled milk, based paint. Quark is a Casein Paint. The recipe is very specific but casein paints last a long time, are fungi resistant and compostable. Casein paints can be used inside or outside, on wood, stone, drywall, wallpaper, earthen plaster, masonry and to cover existing painted surfaces.
Milk paint is suggested for areas that will be subject to moisture. Milk paint is good for these areas because the borax (or lime) has antibacterial and anti-molding properties. When milk paint is dried it has a glassy surface that is wipeable.
There is a lot of preparation that goes into making milk paint. Both the chalk and the pigment must be slaked the night before. #Slaking is soaking a dry powder in water overnight so that the ingredient will mix with water in a more consistent smooth manner."

"Natural paint is often a safer and more local alternative to conventional paints that can be high in VOCs and emboddied energy.
This page describes natural paints as a potential component of United States of America home construction. Only a few decades ago, the petrochemical industry largely took over the production of oil-based and water-based paints. The idea that paint should be able to breath was abandoned. Also, added synthetic chemicals are very harmful to humans and animals. Natural paints derived from plant and mineral materials have subtle, soothing colors, pleasant scents, and help create a healthy environment. Natural paints avoid indoor air pollution and can have an unusual, attractive appearance.
Advantages:
- Using natural paint can reduce the amount of VOCs present in the home, improving indoor air quality.
- Natural paints are microporous, allowing the walls to breathe. Because moisture is not trapped between the wall and the layer of paint, there is no blistering or peeling.
- Natural paints do not use petroleum products and contain ingredients from sustainable sources.
- Because of their non-toxic, natural ingredients, many natural paints are biodegradable, easily disposed of and even fit for a household compost pile once dried. This reduces landfill mass, environmental pollution and disposal costs compared to synthetic paints.Disadvantages:
- Natural paints, especially store bought, may be more expensive than synthetic paints.
- Natural paints may be more difficult to work with than synthetic paints because of texture, rate of drying and inconsistent coloring from batch to batch.
- Although anecdotally durable and resistant, there is a lack of performance data on natural paints, so it is important to test natural paint before committing to a contract."Learn more (includes links to recipes):

#MisterRogers’ Easy #PlayDough
October 25, 2010 Teachnet Staff
"A fast, easy, simple recipe for non-toxic play dough.
* 2 cups flour
* 1 cup waterMix together well and turn out onto a flat, clean work surface. Pat the dough into a ball and knead it well, until you have a smooth mass of dough that is pliable.
You can put dry Kool-Aid or Jell-O in the mix if you want colored dough, or use liquid food coloring.
Store tightly covered in a cool place. You can store it in the fridge (or even freeze it if you have too much) but this can lead to condensation making the dough wet when you bring it back to room temperature. Try to keep the exterior of the dough ball and your storage container free of water droplets. Be sure to remove dough from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you plan to play with it."

Looking for some weekend reading? Check out our new #PFAS briefing and some great cartoons from @cartoonralph.bsky.social #ToxicFreeFuture #BanPFAS corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/c...
-
ICYMI, see our new briefing on #PFAS: Persistent pollution: 10 reasons why a ban only on PFAS in consumer products won’t cut it corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/c... Instead we need: ✅ PFAS burden shifted to the polluter ✅ Polluters stop producing these harmful chemicals #ToxicFreeFuture
-
It is time to make sure that: ✅ #PFAS burden is shifted to the polluter ✅ Polluters stop producing these harmful chemicals ✅ Polluters become liable for huge bill for health damage & environmental clean-up which they have created #ToxicFreeFuture corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/c...
-
It’s time to stand up to greedy polluters which have contaminated our bodies, waters & soils for far too long. We need #ToxicFreeFuture now. And it’s also time for #ToxicFreePolitics too as #BigPolluters have contaminated public decision-making in 🇪🇺 & 🌎. corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

Check out our #DeregulationWatch to monitor new developments in the #deregulation agenda, assess what’s at stake, & organise for strong social, environmental, & human rights protections. We need #RulestoProtect now. #ToxicFreeFuture

🚨NEW ARTICLE: "Crying wolf pays off for chemicals industry"
🐺 Check out how #GreenDeal's proposals to deliver a #ToxicFreeFuture have been delayed & sidelined by #BigToxics’ ‘cry wolf’ scaremongering tactics
✊ Tackling toxic pollution is urgent. To deliver a #ToxicFreeFuture we need #ToxicFreePolitics. That means careful scrutiny of industry claims on costs. And no #CorporateCapture or #PrivilegedAccess like tomorrow’s industry summit.
