Funcils 12 Tempera Paint Sticks for Kids Ages 1-5 - Washable, Quick Dry, Non-Toxic with Metallic Gold & Silver
This set of 12 tempera paint sticks from Funcils offers quick-drying, washable color for toddlers and kids ages 1 to 5. The pack includes ten vibrant shades plus metallic gold and silver, all in a twist-up marker format that requires no water or brushes—just uncap, twist, and draw. The chunky design fits small hands and helps develop proper grip and fine motor skills.
What makes these paint sticks different from regular crayons or markers?
Unlike crayons, these paint sticks apply a smooth, opaque layer of tempera paint that dries quickly. They are washable from skin, clothes, and most surfaces with just soap and water, so accidental marks are not permanent. The twist mechanism means no sharpening, and the sturdy tips hold up to repeated use. The metallic gold and silver add a shiny finish that standard crayons don't offer, making artwork pop.

How to keep the paint sticks from drying out
Always recap each stick immediately after use. If left uncapped, the paint will dry and the stick becomes unusable. Store them in the included case to keep caps secure and colors fresh for the next craft session. This also makes them easy to take on car rides, to restaurants, or on vacation.
