Little Brian Paint Sticks - Classic 6 pk

These are solid colour paint sticks that twist up and down like a glue stick. You uncap one and draw straight onto your paper, with no water, brushes or palette needed. The colour goes on smoothly and dries within minutes, so children can keep painting without waiting for wet layers to set.

The Classic 6 pack holds red, yellow, green, blue, black and brown. These are the core shades most children reach for first, covering warm and cool tones plus black and brown for outlines and details. It is a compact starter range that still lets young artists mix and blend across a full picture.

Each layer dries within minutes of going down on the page. Because the colour is solid rather than wet like a jar of poster paint, there is very little smudging once it sets. Quick drying also makes these handy for outdoor drawing and travel, where you do not want damp artwork smearing in a bag.

Yes. The sticks glide onto paper, card, canvas and wood, and they also take surprisingly well to glass and plastic. On the smoother, non porous surfaces the colour wipes away easily, which makes them good for temporary decorating on windows or plastic sheets before cleaning off.

No. The colour is already loaded in the stick, so there is nothing to dip, rinse or set up. You uncap, twist a little colour out and draw. That keeps painting tidy and quick, and there are no brushes or water pots to wash afterwards.

The paint is water soluble, so marks on skin lift with soap and warm water. On glass and plastic the colour wipes off with a damp cloth. On fabric it is best to wash promptly following the care label, since dried colour on cloth is harder to shift than on smooth surfaces.

Little Brian recommends this Classic 6 pack for children aged three years and over. The twist up shape is easy for smaller fingers to hold and control, and the solid colour means there are no open pots to knock over while a child is busy drawing.
