The Pencil Grip Kwik Stix Solid Tempera Paint Sticks — 12-Pack Red, Quick-Dry & Washable

Kwik Stix Solid Tempera Paint Sticks 12-pack in Red are twist-up, washable paint sticks that deliver vibrant, same-colour coverage that dries in about 90 seconds for mess-free kids' art.

These solid tempera paint sticks from The Pencil Grip are made to simplify crafting for children, teachers, and parents. No brushes, no water, and no messy jars — just twist the tube and glide bright red colour onto paper, cardboard, wood, or canvas. The bulk 12-pack keeps colour consistent for posters, banners, and group projects, while ASTM certification and non-toxic, allergen-free formulation make them suitable for classrooms and family use.

How fast do Kwik Stix dry and do they really avoid mess?

They dry in roughly 90 seconds under normal indoor conditions, so projects are ready quickly and smudging is minimized. Because paint is contained inside the stick, there’s no need for cups of water, brushes, or paint trays—reducing drips and cleanup time considerably.

• Dries in ~90 seconds on paper and poster board
• Twist-and-paint format eliminates open containers
• Washable formula removes from skin and most fabrics
• Less supervision and fewer cleanup supplies required

Will the red colour match across projects and materials?

This 12-pack uses the same red pigment in every stick so colour is consistent across posters, banners, or multiple students’ work. The solid tempera formula lays down opaque, bold colour that reads well at a distance—useful for signs and group displays.

• Uniform colour across all 12 sticks for cohesive results
• Opaque coverage works on paper, cardboard, canvas, and wood
• Good for large-format signs and coordinated classroom projects
• Fade-resistant finish helps maintain vibrancy over time

• ASTM certified and AP Seal approved for art materials
• Non-toxic, allergen-free, and low-odour formulation
• Washable from hands and most textiles for easy cleanup
• Individually capped sticks reduce contamination risk in groups
