Pastel Tempera Paint Sticks

The color payoff is genuinely impressive for kids' supplies—one smooth glide and the paper is fully covered without any pressure. Cleanup took me about ten seconds since nothing got on fingers or the table.

My kids can finally paint without me hovering with wet wipes — these sticks glide on smooth and the colors stay bright even after they dry. We did a whole rainbow scene this afternoon and not a single drop of mess anywhere.

The pastel shades are exactly as pretty as the photos show, and they really do glide on smoothly without any crumbling. Cleanup was just a paper towel wipe on the table, which is huge for us. My five-year-old painted for an hour straight without asking for help once.
