Well many people think that kids tempera and egg tempera are the same but the truth is that they are not because egg tempera contains egg yolk, Water, and pigments. When you buy paint from the store and u star painting you can use any kind of paper to paint and nothing will happen and you can use big chunks of paint. For egg tempera it is different because "Egg tempera must be painted on a rigid surface, such as a wooden panel. It cannot be used on paper or canvas. Although egg tempera dries to a tough film, it also grows brittle. It will flake off a flexible surface".And you can not use big chunks of egg tempera because it will crack.
