Product Information

Full details

The Little Brian Flip Paint Sticks are an excellent choice for young artists, parents, and teachers looking for a mess-free alternative to traditional painting. These 12 dual-ended sticks provide a total of 24 vibrant colors, making them highly portable and convenient for quick creative projects at home or in the classroom. While they excel in versatility and speed, they are primarily designed for younger users or quick artistic applications rather than professional-grade fine art painting.

FAQs

Are these paint sticks non-toxic?

Yes, Little Brian Paint Sticks are designed with safety in mind, making them suitable for children.

Do I need to prime the surfaces before painting?

No, you can apply the paint sticks directly to the surface without any priming.

Can I use these to paint on fabric?

These sticks are designed for paper, card, wood, and glass. They may leave a stain on fabric and are not intended for textile use.

How long do the sticks last?

The longevity depends on frequency of use and the pressure applied; however, the twist-up design ensures you can use almost all of the paint inside the casing.

Are the colors washable?

The paint is water-soluble, making it easy to remove from glass and whiteboards, and it generally washes out of most common surfaces with water.

Troubleshooting

The paint stick feels dry or hard to apply

Apply slightly more pressure or rub the tip on a scrap piece of paper for a few seconds to warm the pigment and reactivate the surface.

Paint is not coming off a surface easily

Ensure you are using a damp cloth. If the surface is porous (like certain types of wood), the paint may leave a stain; always test a small area first.

The stick is broken or crushed inside the tube

Retract the stick fully and gently press the pieces together; the wax-based formula should adhere back together with minor pressure.

Care Instructions:
