The Pencil GripKwik Stix Solid Tempera Paint Sticks, 144 Classic Colors, Washable Paint Sticks for Kids, Quick Drying, Non-Toxic, Allergen Free, Class Pack, Ideal for Kids and Toddlers

I teach elementary art and have used these for several years now. I love them. I use them with my K and 1st graders. They love them, they are easy to handle and use and if it gets on the tables, it wipes up with just water. The do not stain clothing or hands! Great fun for any age group. I've even had other teachers and staff want to try them out. Bright and vivid colors, that dry in about 2 minutes!

I am the director at a preschool. I started using these three years ago, in my own classroom, and now the rest of my staff uses them, too. The paint sticks glide smoothly across the paper, and the size allows a comfortable, controllable grip while creating. There is a beautiful assortment of stunning colors, which keep the kids engaged. The best part is the quick dry time. No smears, no mess, just fun! This mega pack of 144 paint sticks, makes them very affordable for my school.

our students love these paint sticks! adults do too! they're fun to use and are super easy to clean up! they dry quickly and you don't need to worry about cleaning paint brushes!

I was doing a "moving panorama" workshop with kids age 6-8 at a library. We only had 90 minutes, and needed big, bold marks to look good from a distance, but needed the art to dry fast so we could roll the scroll up and perform it in our moving panorama "crankie theater," not to mention keeping childrens' hands and clothing clean. Colors dry in seconds! Bam! If you want them to mix, brush some water on to re-animate like tempera paint. Amazing product. I'm looking forward to using them with elderly artists. My only complaint is that they are only sold in sets, so there is no way to replace individual colors. (I've only had them a few weeks, so I don't know if they will dry up eventually. Hope not.)

It was amazing
