FAQs
How do I use the Galt Painting Sticks?
Simply twist the base of the stick to reveal the paint and begin coloring. Twist it back down when you are finished.
Do I need brushes or water with these painting sticks?
No, the painting sticks are designed for mess-free use without the need for brushes or water. The paint is contained within the stick.
What colors are included in the set?
The set includes six colors: red, blue, green, purple, orange, and yellow.
How fast does the paint dry?
The paint is fast-drying, which helps prevent smudging and allows for quick handling of artwork.
What age are these painting sticks suitable for?
They are suitable for ages 3 years and up.
Can I use these painting sticks on surfaces other than paper?
They are best used on paper. Using them on non-porous surfaces may result in poor adhesion or difficulty in drying.
How do I store the painting sticks?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ensuring the paint is twisted down when not in use to prevent drying out.
Troubleshooting
Paint stick won't advance
Ensure you are twisting the base firmly. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling it while twisting. Avoid forcing it.
Paint is drying out
Make sure the paint stick is twisted down completely after each use. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap (if applicable to the specific packaging) is secured.
Color is not vibrant
Apply more pressure to the stick as you draw, or twist up more paint. Ensure you are using the product on appropriate paper for best color transfer.
Accidental marks on surfaces
Wipe the affected area immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher marks on non-fabric surfaces, a mild soap solution may help. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Galt Toys 6 Painting Sticks require no setup. To use, simply twist the base of the stick to reveal the paint and begin drawing or coloring. Twist the base back down to retract the paint when finished.
Compatibility: These painting sticks are designed for use on most paper surfaces. They work well with standard drawing paper, construction paper, and coloring book pages. Avoid using on non-porous surfaces where the paint may not adhere or dry properly.
Care: Keep the paint sticks capped or twisted down when not in use to prevent drying out. Store in a cool, dry place. To clean any accidental marks, use a damp cloth. Ensure the paint sticks are stored away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. For best longevity, twist up only the amount of paint needed for immediate use.
