Making your children’s toys inspiring again can be as simple as adding a touch of creativity with bright colour combinations.

Whether they’re wooden, plastic or metal, a bright paint job can turn a dated toy into something fresh. Be bold and choose eye catching shades – the kiddies can even get involved in the process!

Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch comes in a small brush pot (20ml) and is ideal for any craft project. We upgraded these wooden, toy ducks with multiple colours including Antique Gold, Bright Orange and Aqua.

Updating tired toys can certainly save on buying new but updating children’s toys isn’t all about upcycling the old.

Using paint to transform something generic into something unique can not only make for a fun project but the unique toys you create can be passed down the generations, plus they make the perfect personalised gift!

We found a plain child’s wooden toy train and made it our own by using Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch brush paint in Cherry Red (Gloss) and Black (Gloss).

If you fancy taking on some toy transformation, make sure you have the right size paint brushes so you can decorate even the most hard to reach spots.

The paint is water-based and most importantly, it is certified Toy Safe meaning they meet EU safety standards, so all you need to worry about is picking the right project to keep your little ones smiling…
