Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the experience of sessions on chemistry of paintings and chemistry of pencils for 8-10 y.o. pupils and their parents. The session consisted of lecture on the history of paints and pencils and laboratory sub-session where the participants made paints and pencils themselves. The participants could quit whenever they wanted, but really worked for more than two hours without break, that is extremely long for this age. We think that the reason is a diverse activity and a bright output.
