The Thin Stix Creativity Pack includes 24 solid tempera paint sticks. We received 12 classic colors, 6 neon colors, and 6 metalix colors. Plenty of options for lots of different art projects.
Try this creative project the next time you pull out your Kwik Stix, and you'll see how simple and truly mess free these kids art supplies really are!
Step 1: You will need two sturdy pieces of paper. I used Bristol board because that is what we had on hand, but poster board will work. You could try card stock or regular paper, but it might curl from the paints.
Step 3: You can adhere the chosen shape that you have cut out to the second piece of bristol board. We didn't have any removable adhesive, so we just held the letter in place.
Step 4: Pull out the Kwik Stix and cover the entire page. Paint right over the letter. Be as creative as you want with this. There isn't a right or a wrong way to paint your project!
Step 5: These tempera paints dry super fast, which is part of what makes them mess free and wonderful. About 90 seconds after you finish painting, you can carefully peel off your shape or letter. I love the outcome with the white contrast of the letter against the colorful background. There are so many ways that this could be done. What about using metallic Kwik Stix on a black background?
These tempera paint sticks are extremely versatile. We love them at our house because they appeal to a wide range of ages. Even my teens love to pick these up and paint. In fact, they were so excited to help their cousin with her painting. We all had such fun working together on it.
What else can you use Kwik Stix on? Anything, really! When a project calls for paint, we pull these out. The favorites in our house are the Thin Stix because they offer a bit more control with the thinner tip. The classic size are similar to a glue stick and the Thin Stix more closely resemble a marker. No matter which size you prefer, they are easy to use and FUN!
