Good morning everyone! I have a really fun giveaway for you today, and just in time for the holidays! I’ll be giving away a set of the fun new Kwik Stix paint pens by The Pencil Grip!
I’m sure you’ve seen these popping up all over the internet, I know I have! And my kids were so excited when I said that they were sending some for us to review. At first I thought they’d just be like regular crayons or maybe even markers, but they aren’t.
They’re actually paint in a stick. So they glide on really smoothly, and can be blended somewhat as well. They go on wet, but dry within about 90 seconds which is nice. And one that that I definitely appreciate is that they come out in an even amount. So you don’t have any large globs of paint like when working with paint and brushes.
We found that they work best with thicker, painting paper as opposed to regular copy paper. Since they are wet, they do act just like paint and can soak through thinner paper.
Hopefully you can see in this closeup that they dry with a rather interesting texture to them as well. They kind of remind me of a dryer acrylic painting or something like that.
The edges of our paper rolled up a little bit, but I just smoothed them out on a table edge, and they stayed great. The paint is a nice even coat, so there wasn’t any cracking or any flaking.

Kwik Stix was kind enough to send each of my kids their own set as well, which was nice. Now I don’t have any fighting over them, and everyone can make their own projects!

I’d love to see how these work on wood
My Family Childcare children would use these to make whatever their imagination wants to make.
My kids would love to paint with these! What a great product! Thanks for sharing them with us!
We sometimes go on nature walks and these would be great when we paint what we’ve seen
We would definitely make Christmas paintings for friends and relatives.
These are really cool! My kids would love these. We paint all the time and it would be nice to experiment with these. Maybe we could use these to paint some landscapes. That would be interesting to see! My children love to draw and paint animal habitats.
My kids would love these. I don’t bring out the paints often, because of the mess. I can see many masterpieces being made for the fridge, and grandparents.
The pinch grip (more than 1)… having a special needs child these are always the ones i use for his writing. He is working on writing letters to his grandma and grandpa and other family members as well as coupons redeemable (i.e. take out the garbage for me, a sword battle with his big brother). With the Kwik Sticks he could add some wonderful drawings and make them colorful. My kiddo is a budding artist and loves to practice writing chinese mandarin. It helps him feel peaceful. These would be absolutely perfect for that.
ok my son would go nuts over these! And I would feel good giving him hear to play with. Also, the mechanical pencil with colored leads on the pencil grip site is so awesome! Wouldn’t mind owning a few of those either! (Found my stocking stuffers this year!)
My girls would love these! And visiting their website reminded me about pencil grips, which I think they could also really use as they learn how to properly hold a pencil! Thank you!
