It’s 7:30 am on Sunday and I’m sitting at the kitchen table watching my threenager paint like a fiend, having the time of his life. We’ve fit more in the last hour and a half than I do into most full days, but his energy and curiosity are boundless. He loves to paint and those paint sticks are every caregiver’s dream.
PAINT STICKS, YOU SAY?
Oh yes, paint sticks! These bad boys glide effortlessly over glossy or matte paper and dry almost instantly all the while delivering a super pigmented swath of color to the page. Fun for every tot and clean up is a breeze for every parent, aunt/uncle, teacher, Grammy or Gramps?
Here are some of the faves among our household -

Metallic Tempura Paint Sticks - YES, metallic. And the shimmer, is CHEF KISS!

KEEP IT SIMPLE
My toddler often asks me to draw shapes, numbers, or letters, but just this week, he has started drawing and painting “Mama” and “Pops” and other friends and family members. These blobs are the most precious things I’ve ever seen. When I try to appease him by drawing my version, the entire page is ruined by a terrible stick figure or worse an actual overly thought out attempt of a human figure. He doesn’t seem to mind, but I’m instantly too critical of myself.
