Homeschool Review & Giveaway: Thin Stix Creativity Pack #hsreviews #KwikStix, #temperapaint, #kidsartsupplies #giveaway


The Pencil Grip, Inc. has easily become one of our favorite family resources in recent years and we are always excited to see just what fun they will come up with next.  You might remember that we fell in love with their Kwik Stix a few years ago and then we had tons of fun with the Thin Stix 6 pk of Classic Colors back in the Spring.  Once again, The Pencil Grip, Inc. has introduced us to an entirely new way of creating art with the Thin Stix Creativity Pack and when we heard about it we just couldn't wait to get our hands on it.  Hello, brights and metallics! Welcome to our world. 

The Thin Stix Creativity Pack expands our artistic realm by taking everything we loved about the Classic Colors and quadrupling it in size.  It contains 24 solid tempera paints in all kinds of fun colors which makes it super easy to blend and add dimension to artwork of all kinds.  There are 12 classic colors like red, orange, yellow, pink, green, blue, and purple, but they've also added metalix like silver, gold, and green and my very favorite neon colors like green, yellow, and  blue.  You can see all of the colors in the photo at the top of this post and in the package pictured below:

What we like most about the Kwik Stix family of paints is that it is absolutely, positively mess-free.  These Stix of paint are creamy and offer a beautifully rich color option to just about any type of painting surface without the mess that you typically have when using wet, drippy paint.  We've used them to paint on canvas (both stretched and in a pad), cardboard, construction paper, poster board, regular paper, and wood.  The paint dries to the touch in about a minute and a half and does not smear or smudge.  My daughter used the Thin Stix to "color" in a reader just last week, and once the paint has dried, it doesn't even come off on the page stacked before it.


While we absolutely loved the Kwik Stix, the new THIN size of the Thin Stix makes it easier to add details while painting and makes the blending process super smooth.  This is where quality can really be seen in the added dimension offered.  The smaller tip and longer length even makes it so that our resident artist can write with the Stix which is perfect for cool lettering projects (you should see her Harry Potter door) and signing the masterpieces that she creates.  The expanded color selection is phenomenal.  The metalix add a special POP to everything -- they make rainy, dreary days festive -- and the neons make me think of summer fun year-round.
