When most mom’s hear the question, “Mom, can I paint?” they cringe at the thought of the paint and the mess that comes along with it.\u00a0 The water that gets spilled.\u00a0 The paint that gets all over not just the kids but random places around the house.\u00a0 Then either\u00a0grudgingly they say yes and pray that the paint stays in one place or they say no, not at this time and have disappointed kids.\u00a0\u00a0Let me introduce you to Kwik Stix from The Pencil Grip, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0 Kwik Stix, the paint that you will not hesitate to say yes to!<\/p>\n

My family was first introduced to Kwik Stix earlier this year when we had the opportunity to review the product as a part of the Homeschool Review Crew.\u00a0 The Pencil Grip, Inc.<\/a> contacted me recently to see if we would be interested in reviewing their Neon<\/a> & Metalix<\/a> sets.\u00a0 We said yes!\u00a0 My kids\u00a0love them and so do I!<\/p>\n

I\u00a0was once\u00a0that mom\u00a0that I mentioned above.\u00a0 I\u00a0cringed at the thought of painting, especially with 5 young children and\u00a0Kwik Stix changed that!\u00a0 I find myself now saying yes nearly every time they ask to paint and the two youngest (4 & 3) love to paint with Kwik Stix.<\/p>\n

Kwik Stix are solid tempera paint in stick form about the size of a standard glue stick and are perfect for little hands.\u00a0 You uncap, twist, & paint.\u00a0 No water is needed so no mess when the cup is accidentally tipped over.\u00a0\u00a0You don’t have to worry about the colors mixing because they do not bleed!\u00a0 The best thing about Kwik Stix is that the paint dries in 90 seconds!\u00a0 Yes, 90 seconds!\u00a0\u00a0Kwik Stix are also great for classrooms and co-ops (96 ct & 144 ct sets are available!).\u00a0 Clean up is a breeze!\u00a0\u00a0Other than\u00a0putting things away\u00a0and making sure the caps are on tight so the Kwik Stix don’t dry out, clean up is minimal.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"The colors in the Neon set\u00a0are nice and bright & I love the glittery shimmer of\u00a0the colors in the\u00a0Metalix set.\u00a0 Both sets are a great addition to the\u00a0classic set\u00a0we\u00a0reviewed earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

With Christmas quickly approaching Kwik Stix by The Pencil Grip makes an awesome stocking stuffer or gift.\u00a0 They also make excellent gifts throughout the entire year!\u00a0 You can find them in variety of colors and sets.\u00a0 They can be found on Amazon (Metalix –\u00a0Set of 6<\/a>\"\"
\nNeon – 6 Pack<\/a>, Classic – 6 Pack<\/a>\"\", \"\"Classic –\u00a012 Pack<\/a>, 24 ct Classic, Neon, and Metalix Combo\u00a0set<\/a>\"\", 96 Pack<\/a>\"\", and 144 ct Classic – 12 of Each Classic Color<\/a>\"\") & at Target\u00a0(online<\/a> & in stores).<\/p>\n

My older girls recently painted pictures of the characters from the movie ‘Inside Out’ (Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger).<\/p>\n

Lil’ Bit made a crown.\u00a0 Since the paint is dry in 90 seconds she was able to wear the crown almost instantly!!<\/p>\n
