My Creative Box Silkies Paint Sticks Set of 12

Silkies are twistable paint sticks that glide onto paper like a glue stick but leave bright tempera paint colour behind. There are 12 shades in the set, and the colour is washable and fast drying, so young artists can paint smoothly without brushes, water or long waits between layers.

The set includes 12 bright colours: pink, red, orange, yellow, light green, dark green, navy, blue, purple, brown, black and white. That range gives children plenty of choice for mixing scenes, characters and backgrounds across many different craft and drawing projects at home.

Yes. The tempera colour is washable and the sticks are leak proof, so tidying up after a painting session stays simple. Because Silkies dry fast, finished pictures are ready to handle quickly and there is far less smudging than with liquid paints.

No. Each colour sits in a thick, easy-twist barrel that works like a glue stick, so children just twist up the paint and draw straight onto the page. There are no pots of water, wet brushes or drips to manage during or after creative time.

The chunky, easy-twist barrels are simple to grip and help build fine motor control as children twist and draw. This makes Silkies a comfortable first paint format for preschoolers who are still developing hand strength and pencil-style control.

Yes. The 12 sticks arrive packed in a ready-made solid case that keeps every colour in place, which makes the set easy to store between projects and simple to wrap as a birthday or Christmas present for a young artist.

The Silkies paint is non-toxic, so it suits everyday creative play at home. As with any art material, we recommend children use them with adult supervision, and the washable formula makes any marks on skin or clothing easy to clean.
