Latex.

Start with latex. Anything else may have some solvents that will attack the foam. Once you have a solid latex barrier, it is possible to put other coatings on top of it.

use acrylic paint for a base coat and finish with "tempra paint" not latex paint though it tends to flake off when dry..

Water soluble acrylics only. You can buy these 60 ml/2 fl oz bottles at the Dollar Store. The art supplies and craft stores also carry these acrylics but they cost a lot more there. For large areas you may have to resort to latex on account of cost.
