Kid Stix Paint Sticks and a giveaway

I first learned about this amazing product at the French Lick Teacher Blogger Meet Up (click on link to see my post about this awesome event)! I was like paint stix what are these!! So of course, I had to try them and do a review on them (click on the link to read my review)! This was on the primary color stix. Click on their logo to check them out!!!!





 Then I was given the opportunity to try and blog about the NEON paint stix! OMG!!!! These are amazing!!! They are so bright and colorful! My kiddos loved them.



Now for those of you who are not familiar with paint stix. These are tempera paint stix. They look like glue sticks but they are tempera paint! The kids just take the cap off and paint! There is no water needed! No mess! Doesn't spill or get all over everything! And it dries in 90 seconds!!!! YES! 90 SECONDS!!!!!! My kiddos loved these!!!!

Look how bright these are!!!!




My kids used these when we did directed drawing lessons in ELA!!!! This is the lesson we did on Snappsy the Alligator for point of view!!!! Click on link to buy the book!!!!!




Look how bright green the alligators are!! No smudges or paint all over their hands!!!!!! 

Then they used them during quiet time!!!!




They used them during social studies when they had to draw maps and pictures of their families!!




These paint stix are amazing if you have the HUe Animation Camera!!! They are so bright and they look amazing in the videos that your kids create!! We used them for our rainforest videos. Here is one of their pictures!!!


There are so many ways to use these in your classroom!!

Now how about a giveaway??? 

The Pencil Grip have given me a six pack of primary and a 6 pack of neon paint stix to give away to one of my lucky readers!!! Enter using the rafflecopter below!!!!!
