Kwik Stix - Broad (12 Pack)

Kwik Stix Broad Solid Tempera Paint Sticks give kids bold color and a paint-like finish without brushes, water cups, spills, or lengthy cleanup. Simply uncap, twist, and paint! The broad, solid paint sticks glide directly onto craft surfaces and dry in just 90 seconds, making them an excellent choice for busy classrooms, camps, after-school programs, recreation centers, and creative time at home.

Real Paint Color Without the Traditional Painting Mess

Kwik Stix combine the simplicity of a twist-up stick with the rich coverage of tempera paint. Kids can apply color directly to their projects without setting out brushes, water, paint trays, or cups, helping programs spend less time preparing and cleaning and more time creating.

The broad design is especially useful when kids need to cover larger areas quickly. Smooth, vibrant color makes these sticks great for posters, signs, cardboard creations, wooden crafts, canvas projects, and countless other art activities.

Best of all, the fast-drying formula dries in just 90 seconds while leaving a paint-like finish. That quick turnaround is a major advantage for group programs where projects need to move from the craft table to backpacks, cubbies, displays, or take-home bags without waiting around for wet paint to dry.
