Product Review - New Thin Stix from Kwik Stix The Pencil Grip Inc.



I received a pack of Thin Stix in exchange for my honest opinion for this review.

**


Awhile back, I posted a couple reviews about Kwik Stix. We absolutely love this product, because it provides a way for your child to paint without the messy clean up. 

These paint Stix are much like a glue stick, only they each have a separate paint color that is made up of tempera paint that dries in no time! This means that paint time, arts and crafts, is now more enjoyable for mom or teacher because there is no need to drag out messy cups of water, paint brushes, and colors that stain tables and clothing if you don't get to it in time. Kwik Stix remedies this by providing paint inside the twist tube that goes on like glue, can be applied to many surfaces or papers, and dries in no time. Almost as soon as your child is done creating, that painting is ready to hang on the fridge.

As much as we loved the idea of paint stix your child can hold in their hand and dries quickly leaving more time for creativity and less time cleaning up, the only thing missing was the ability to draw fine, detailed lines.

Well, the people at The Pencil Grip Co. and Kwik Stix are pleased to announce their new Kwik Stix THIN STIX:



The package I received for review contained 12 classic colors.

They are the same solid tempera paint stix only thinner, making drawing more detailed lines possible. Here are some ways my child used them:









In the words of my 10 year old:

My only complaint with the Kwik Stix was that I couldn't draw details, but they fixed that! I really like the Thin Stix, because they allow me to draw thinner lines!"

The Gift of Art From Kwik Stix from The Pencil Grip, Inc.

I received two packs of Kwik Stix from The Pencil Grip, Inc. in exchange for my honest review.



  

  



Kwik Stix are solid tempera paint sticks that dry in 90 seconds. There is no need for cups of water, paint brushes, or smocks when painting. Set up and clean up are hassle free and a breeze. The paints are AP certified, so they are non-toxic and perfectly safe for young children. They work well on paper, wood, canvas, cardboard, and any other crafting mediums you want to try your hand at.

I love them because they are not messy, so they turn art into the fun, creative time it should be instead of a clean-up nightmare. They make great Christmas or birthday gifts, and are a must-have for every preschool or elementary school setting.

Here are some of the projects we created using Kwik Stix:

MY FAVORITE.....My daughter dressed up as Princess Anna from Frozen. Last time she had done this was via a costume I handmade, so when she put on her boots that were amazingly hand crafted, they were too small (from two years ago). So...... She made her own.


These were the original boots on which I used a different kind of paint:





The texture on the pinecones is done with Kwik Stix

TOS Review - The Pencil Grip, Inc. Kwik Stix 12 Pack

Kwik Stix The Pencil Grip, Inc. Review, #hsreviews, #KwikStix, #temperapaint, #kidsartsupplies, Kwik Stix, tempera paint, no mess kids art, kids art supplies
Lately, we have really been noticing that my youngest daughter may have a gift for art, specifically sketching, pixel art, and painting. She has always loved to paint, so I was so excited to get a chance to review the Kwik Stix 12 pk. from The Pencil Grip, Inc. When the package arrived, I was happy to also receive a sample of their pencil grip that the company is known for as well as an additional sample of another red Kwik Stix.

What is the KWIK STIX?



It's an amazing innovation for teachers and parents who love the idea of their kids getting creative but hate the clean up mess left behind. These Kwik Stix allow a child to paint in the same way he or she would color or draw. Kwik Stix is tempera paint that is a solid tube of paint inside of a twist-up plastic stick, like glue sticks. It dries in 90 seconds, is easy for the child to hold, and provides so much less mess than water, paint and brushes.

How Did We Use It?

We went to town using these, and honestly so did I. My daughter and I absolutely fell in love with how easy they are to use and how quickly they dry.
  • We used it for art. 
  • We used it for Science assignments.
  • We used it on some ceramics to touch up a chip.
  • I even touched up some spots on our walls and dining room chairs. 
  • We used these Kwik Stix any and every time we could.

These Kwik Stix came in handy to use alongside her science workbook when it asked for projects involving drawing or coloring.


One day, I thought - "Hmmm, why couldn't I use this paint on projects around the house that need a bit of a touch up." So, I did. I used it on a chipped ceramic.


I used it on my white walls that had scuffs and marks from children over the years, and I used it on our dining room chairs:

   




What Did We Think?

The benefits of this product are immense. The Kwik Stix are easy to use, perfect size for little artist hands and they are so much less messy than typical painting projects. The wide surface is nice to cover wide areas of paintings, but we discovered that on the times we needed to make a thin line, we could also use the traditional thin paint brush on the surface of the Kwix Stix or even add a just a touch of water. My daughter keeps asking me how they dry so fast. I don't know the answer, but I'm loving that they do.
