\nThe Pencil Grip, Inc.<\/a> sent my family a 12 pack of Kwik Stix<\/a> (in classic)\u00a0to review.\u00a0 Also, included in the box was a sample\u00a0dark blue\u00a0Classic Kwik Stix and\u00a0a pencil grip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kwik<\/a><\/p>\n

Kwik Stix are great\u00a0fun for\u00a0toddlers to adults!\u00a0 They\u00a0are a big hit in my house!\u00a0 The kids love them because they get to paint more.\u00a0 I love them because there\u00a0is little to\u00a0no mess, no water to be dumped, no paint everywhere, and they dry quickly!<\/p>\n

One of the first things you probably do\u00a0when you hear those dreaded words “Can I paint?” is cringe.\u00a0 I know I do, even if I don’t show it!\u00a0 With Kwik Stix I found myself saying yes to the question nearly every time they asked.\u00a0 The girls were happy cause they were getting to paint more.\u00a0\u00a0I was happy because I do not have to worry about them getting paint everywhere\u00a0since it\u00a0doesn’t.\u00a0 Recently, the kids painted with regular paint, they got paint on my brand new pair of shoes.\u00a0 I don’t even know how that happened because my shoes were no where near them and the paint.\u00a0\u00a0If you do get Kwix Stix paint on the table\u00a0(like painting by the edges of the paper) it is easily cleaned up.\u00a0 I had the kids\u00a0keep a sheet a paper behind what they are working on to help minimize that and it worked out well.\u00a0 It is even safe to let a\u00a0toddler paint!\u00a0\u00a0My two year old was excited to use them.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0748\"<\/a>This is Lil’ Bit and Daddy working together on a picture with Kwik Stix.<\/p>\n

Kwik Stix are about the size of a glue stick and kids of any age can easily use them.\u00a0 They have caps like glue sticks do and you can reveal as much or as a little of the paint as you want with the twist bottom.\u00a0 Even better is they do not need water!\u00a0 No more worrying about\u00a0a\u00a0glass of water\u00a0being knocked over.\u00a0 Another thing that I liked is that when a color is colored over another color that is\u00a0still wet the paint doesn’t transfer to each other.\u00a0 For example you could paint with the yellow stick over the black on your paper and your yellow is still yellow!<\/p>\n

Another awesome thing is that when creations are created they are dry within 90 seconds!\u00a0 Yes, 90 seconds!\u00a0\u00a0 The majority of the time I found that it didn’t even take the full\u00a090 seconds to\u00a0dry.\u00a0\u00a0A very happy momma here!\u00a0 Kwik Stix will make a great addition to any household, classroom, and\/or co-op because you can paint items and no more hanging artwork and waiting for them to dry or worrying about getting paint somewhere in the car because it wasn’t quite dry when you take home the artwork.<\/p>\n

Besides the Classic set, Kwik Stix is available in\u00a0Neon and Metalix colors.\u00a0 In addition to the 12 count Classic Kwik Stix,\u00a0Classic is also available in 6 or 96 counts.\u00a0 The 96 count Classic is a class pack and you get 8 pieces of each color.<\/p>\n
