Note: These items were sent to us for the purpose of this review but all opinions are honest and our own.
If you have been reading my blog for a while, then you will know that we are huge fans of Little Brian Paint sticks in our house. I love them because they are clean, easy and no fuss and the boys love them because I let them paint and play with them whenever they ask because they are so mess free!!! So, when we were sent some of their brand-new paint stick range, we were all super excited about what we were going to receive!
We were lucky enough to be sent some amazing goodies from
the Little Brian Paint Sticks range to add to our ever-growing collection
including the Paint Sticks Bucket, Giant Paint Stick set and a pretty cool Paint-a-Puzzle
kit. Pickle is super creative and loves nothing more than to sit and paint and
create so these goodies were perfect for him and right up his street!
First, let me share a bit about
Paint Sticks with you and explain why I love them so bloody much! I am not a ‘crafty’
parent. I do not do mess and glitter and sticky stuff…it just isn’t for me, but
I do always try to let the boys do arts as I want to encourage their creativity.
Finding a balance between letting them explore arts and crafts whilst not
making me freak out about mess and paint being everywhere (Smidge is a serial graffiti
artist when it comes to drawing on walls and furniture!!) can be difficult. In
my opinion, Paint Sticks are the perfect way for my boys to paint. They are
mess free as you don’t need brushes or water, they clean off of skin, clothes,
walls and furniture really easily (and yes I am talking from experience here)
and they are great for little ones to paint on more than just paper. They
enable 360 painting and my two love nothing more than creating art on and
inside of boxes and all sorts of things they create rather than just on normal paper.
They are a serious winner all round.
The Paint Stick bucket is perfect
if you are looking for something a little portable. The handle bucket comes
with 20 paint sticks inside and has a lid making it great to take out and
about. It also is a great way to store the paint sticks and keep them tidy. The
Giant Paint Stick is another great storage option as it comes with 30 different
sticks, all of which can be stored inside the giant stick. The bucket has an
RRP of £13.00 and the giant stick comes in with an RRP of £17.99, both of which
I think are great prices as the sticks last for ages and they are so
brilliantly mess free!
The final item we were sent was
the Paint-a-Puzzle which Pickle absolutely loved. It was probably a bit too
complex for Smidge who is 2 as he just wants to paint everywhere but it was
perfect for Pickle who is almost 6 as he really took his time painting carefully
and colouring in the farm yard scene so that he could then keep the puzzle and
play with it again and again. The Paint-a-Puzzle is available for just £14.00
and comes with 6 paint sticks too so it would make a great gift for any little
one as it comes with everything you need.
In summary, if you have not guessed
already, we are huge advocate of Little Brian’s Paint Stick and I basically think
that every parent needs them in their arts and crafts arsenal! They are super affordable,
last for ages, mess free and most important, kids love them!! What more could
you want? So next time your looking for something creative for your little ones,
make sure you check out Little Brian and their range of Paint Sticks!
