New Review! Thin Stix Creativity Pack and a CONTEST!!! :)

Well, hello there!!! I'm so glad you stopped by! :) I bet you'd like to get my posts delivered right to your inbox, now wouldn't you? So why not sign up for Feedburner? Check it out, it's right there in my sidebar! Thanks!!  :)

About the product/service: As part of the Homeschool Review Crew, I received a free Thin Stix Creativity Pack from The Pencil Grip, Inc., so we could check it out and let you know what we think. This is a 24-pack of paint sticks. They are tempra paint, but in stick form. They twist to expose more paint as needed. They are used more like a marker, but since they are paint, they look like paint. LOL This particular kit has a wonderful range of colors, which even includes neon and metallix. They are super cool!



What are the pros of this product? 

• Lots of colors
• Easy to use
• No water needed (no brush cleaning!)
• Works on multiple surfaces
• Dries in 90 seconds
• Not messy!
• Easy clean up!
• Fun!

What's not to like? 

I wish the caps connected to the other end. Not a hug deal, and I understand it's probably because they twist, but it would be nice if they could figure out a way to do it. 


The Crazy Mom take:

I really love these! I was just sitting here thinking about this review, and it made me think back to kindergarten round up. At some point, the year before I was to enter kindergarten, there was a special day where the moms and the kids would go to the school and check the place out. I got to go paint on the easel, and I was so excited! I mean, it was half a century ago and I still remember, so yeah, I was excited, just a little. LOL  Anyway, I'm pretty sure we had just primary colors, plus green, fairly large brushes, and a little bit of fear in our hearts because we knew it could get messy. If I remember correctly we all had to bring in a smock, which was most likely one of dad's old T-shirts.

Anyway, as much as I loved it, I don't think I was all that creative. I painted a lot of houses. They were all more or less the same. The sun was in the corner, the clouds were blue, and the houses all were designed by the same architect, with the same interior designer. (They all had the same blue curtains.) Oh, and the same landscaper, too! No matter, I loved it. (For fun, I recreated one of my earlier pics for this review.)

I forgot the sun goes in the corner! :)

It's not super easy to write,
 but much better than with paint and a brush!

But, oh, what fun it would have been to have 24 colors! Perhaps I could have lived a little! I could have fired that architect, designer, and landscaper and got a little more creative! (We only had four colors, if I'm not mistaken, and no real way to mix them.) With the Thin Stix we'd have had a little more control over the paint, and we wouldn't have had to worry about getting our clothes dirty. We wouldn't have even needed a smock! Oh, and the best part, we could take them home right away because they would have been dried almost instantly. Also, the paper would stay nice and smooth. There would be just one thing that would have to stay the same. The easel. Loved that easel. Real artists use easels, and there's no way I'd want to give that up!

If you'd like to win your own 24 piece set of Kwik Stix, just leave a comment and I will randomly choose one winner by Sunday, November 12, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. eastern time.


What's the bottom line? $19.99
