Water based paints or acrylic craft paints are the best to use on Styrofoam. Water based paints, specifically poster paints, work well with younger kids as they can get a really good and thick coverage of paint on the polystyrene shape.

∙ 12y agostyrofoam can be painted with any craft paint (make sure it lists that it is suitable for sytrofoam) or specific spray paints that are also made for use on styrofoam. If you don't want to go searching for hard-to-find paints, you cover the styrofoam with plaster of Paris or mod pod first and then simply spray the object with any spraypaint color you desire.

Can you mix art paint with house paint for your wall?
Yes! I have used both combinations of wall paint in poster paint & vice versa..I used one to tint the other in each instance & noticed that it affected the adhesion as well as the ability to block stains if adding poster paint to wall (white-ish) paint..by adding wall paint to poster paint it made poster paint stick better, flow from brush better, & require fewer coats..all of this while using a high quality acrylic wall paint..
