Shuttle Art Tempera Paint Sticks, 20 Pastel Colors, Solid Tempera Paint for Kids, Super Quick Drying, Works Great on Paper Wood Glass Ceramic Canvas

These are the best paint sticks for an easy arts and crafts activity. From a sensory perspective, they are a dream. Not sticky or bothersome. They glide smoothly and give great color payoff. The variety of colors in this pastel set is great and the shades themselves are lovely. As a busy parent, the last thing I want to do is deal with a massive set up or clean up process when doing an art project with my kids. These eliminate the fussiness of paint pots and the inevitable spilled water rinse cup- because no brushes are needed! They are great for kids of all ages- and honestly fun for adults too. Little hands have no issues holding these although, grown ups may need to help with fully securing the lids when putting them away to prevent from drying out. I haven’t noticed any staining on clothes and the colors wash off skin easily with a wet paper towel. We have so much fun with these! Get them!

These are awesome for journaling or for no-mess fun. They dry quickly (not good for blending, but great for layering) and are pretty opaque, especially in layers. Don’t expect precision; they are clunky and it can be hard to get a precise edge since they are so creamy and shaped like a glue stick (they twist up like one too). There are also imperfections in the paint itself - I was getting purple streaks in my grey blue, which happened to present itself in my color swatch so you can see. It’s annoying to cover back up, but for my uses it’s not a big deal. I didn’t find the color labels they come with to be exactly useful and some of the colors on the box don’t match what the colors actually look like. It’s always good to swatch your colors anyway. I labeled them regular names that I thought made sense since I’ll be sharing them, but I am also trying to learn watercolor painting using Winsor paints, so on my color swatch I did my best to approximate the color matches for my own learning. These are pretty pastel colors, portable, fun and easy to use, and even brown paper bags from the store or Amazon shipping paper become canvas material with these. I just ordered the regular color set too!

These are our favorite paint sticks! They are easy to use, amazing pigment and color options and most of all so fun for kids to use! The paint wipes off any surface super easily too which is great for toddlers and young kids!

These apply smoothly and dry beautifully. Great colors and very washable. Perfect for gifting and keeping on hand in our art cabinet!

Love how all the shades go together and are so pretty. Really easy for 4-5 year olds to use and play around with. Color goes on smoothly. Definitely buying again and again.

When working with kids, it's a challenge to achieve subtle, natural colors and blends! We used these for a prairie-themed moving panorama (AKA Crankie) workshop at a community art venue and it was so great to have subtle colors! Some other brands of tempera sticks either won't blend with water or are greasy or chunky. These are very nice, go on smoothly, dry quickly, and easily reanimate with a damp sponge to blend. Did I mention how much I loved the colors?! The images show the backlit panorama, which was drawn on a roll of white Tyvek. The Tyvek gives a recycled-looking feathery texture throughout.

Pros: bright pigment, wide variety of colors, easy to use, mess-free, quick dry, textured look Cons: some of the colors require a double or triple coat, or a heavy-handed application These are really fun to have on hand for projects. I personally use them and so does my toddler!

I really enjoy tempera sticks and I wanted pastels for a while especially for their blues and greens! These are lovely, but the yellows on their on are a bit more pale than I was expecting. On toned paper or layers they would be absolutely, they layer well and dry quickly! Fun to use as an adult who likes to do art journaling for larger pieces or quick playing around. They kind of act like oil pastels in a way but don't blend when dried so you have to work quickly if you do want to blend them. Work well with classic colors as well. Really having fun with them.

Really smooth to paint with and a beautiful shine!

Consegna nei tempi. L'ho regalato a una pittrice quindi non ho commenti diretti, ma è stato molto apprezzato.

jolies couleurs. bien pour un enfant car ça ne tache pas.

These are amazing and so easy to use and dry quickly on paper, awesome product and is great for mixed media art

Ich habe sowohl das normale Set als auch das Set mit den Pastellfarben. Hier bewerte ich das Pastelfarben-Set: Superschöne Farben, eine tolle Ergänzung zum anderen Set, kann aber auch eigenständig benutzt werden. Kein Geschmotze, Farbe trocknet im Grunde sofort, das Skizzenbuch lasse ich trotzdem eine halbe Stunde offen liegen, damit beim Zuklappen nichts zusammenklebt. Durch das schnelle Trocknen ist es aber nicht möglich, die Farben mit den Fingern zu verstreichen und ineinander zu verblenden. Allerdings gelingt das durch einen nassen Pinsel, mit dem man die Farbe verteilen kann (die gemalten Striche verbleiben aber in der Regel). Durch die Dicke der Stifte ist präzises Arbeiten nicht möglich, und ich gehe davon aus dass die Farben nicht lichtecht sind. Leider lassen sich keine einzelnen Farben nachkaufen und ich habe den Eindruck dass ich die Sticks sehr schnell aufbrauchen werde. Viel Plastik, dafür bleiben die Hände sauber. Für Kinder super, und ich habe auch großen Spaß mit den Tempera Sticks.
