Overview
A 12-color set of twist-up tempera paint sticks for kids ages 2 to 8, applied like a lipstick rather than dipped or brushed, and washable off skin, fabric, and most household surfaces.
The beeswax-based stick format sidesteps the two usual complaints with kids' paint: spills from open jars and pigment that never fully dries. Twisting the stick up and down instead of peeling a paper wrapper, as older paint crayons do, also means less breakage in a kid's hands. The tradeoff of any paint stick format is less color-mixing control than liquid paint, but for quick projects that is rarely the point.
- 12 classic tempera colors included
- Beeswax-based formula, twist-up stick
- Non-toxic, washable, water-soluble
- Sized for ages 2 to 8
Who it's for
Fits parents and classrooms outfitting toddlers and young kids for quick art projects, cards, and posters where a fast, low-mess medium matters more than fine color blending. Not the choice for anyone wanting liquid paint's blending and layering control.
Pros and cons
- Twist-up format resists breaking
- Dries fast enough to avoid smudging
- Washes off skin and fabric with a wet towel
- Less color-blending control than liquid paint
Performance notes
The formula dries within seconds of application, which is what lets a finished piece go straight into a folder without smudging. The twist mechanism advances a fresh stick surface without the breakage risk of a wrapped crayon, and the water-soluble pigment is what allows a wet paper towel to lift it off skin, fabric, and most washable surfaces without scrubbing.
