You know sometimes when you come across a product and it’s a bit of a revelation? Well, the Little Brian Paint Sticks are one such product. I would go as far as to say it’s one of the best things we have had for the kids!
These Little Brian Paint Sticks get rid of all of that. It is almost (note the word almost!) impossible to make a mess with them. In fact, the only thing I have had to wipe down is the table cloth. It’s solid paint in sticks, which twist up just like a glue stick. The paint goes smoothly onto paper and dries within seconds – no more soggy bits of paper lying around waiting to dry! You can also use them on other surfaces, including wood and even glass. Maybe one day we will try some window art!
The pack we had contains 12 brightly coloured paint sticks, but they’re available in smaller packs and metallic colours Even after almost daily use for the past three weeks they still have plenty of life left in – but I am stocking up on another couple of packs to see us through the summer holidays!
One of the things we wanted to do this summer was painting on the beach. How I was going to actually facilitate that was whole different matter – but I was determined we would try. These paint sticks meant that it was actually really easy, and the kids loved using them on the beach. If you were going on a plane with kids, these would probably be great for chucking in the bag to keep them amused.
