Missouri Farm Girl: Kwix Stix 12pk by The Pencil Grip, Inc. ~ Review

Kwik Stixs 12pk are a new fabulous way to demonstrate your creativity.

We received a complete package of the Kwik Stixs to review by The Pencil Grip, Inc. The 12 pack came with green, pink, white, red dark blue, royal blue, grey, black, purple, dark green, yellow, orange, and brown. The solid, non-toxic tempera paint are easy and cleaner type of paint, which can be used on paper, poster board or anything on which we would use liquid tempera paints. All one needs to do is uncap, twist and paint away. Although some might be thinking this is perfect for younger ones and it is! Although we know even tweens can be messy, I appreciate there is no need for brushes to clean, palettes for the paints, easels or special paint paper. We don’t need water; we just enjoy the favorite part of painting- the creativity, and they dry in 90 seconds. Each paint stick contains about 10 grams of solid tempera paint.

The only potential minimal drawbacks: the paints are made in China, and we must keep the cap on when not in use as they dry out quickly.

Not only did they send paint but they sent a sample of a pen with their logo and a pencil grip on it. This was a fabulous bonus as it molds to fingers and keeps from making callouses on your fingers as I had as a kid. They even have grips for the lefty’s in your family!

Kwik Stix are amazing! The colors are so bold and come out as strong as you hope. The paint is smooth. It has an easy grip and top, which is great for little hands. I love that we can paint on regular printer paper, and it dries so quickly that we can stack the pages as the children finish. No more hanging pieces of paper everywhere waiting for them to dry and hoping they don't drip. What a brilliant invention! Some may say they are similar to markers, but I believe it is a fun change for them from the traditional markers, crayons, and pencils but a lot easier to control and a lot less mess than paint. We can blend the colors by layering or with your fingers until they dry. The texture is similar to oil pastel until it dries.
