I recently discovered the coolest new craft supply for kids. They’re called Kwik Stix and they are like a glue stick, but they’re filled with paint. And it’s not just any paint… it’s washable paint that dries in 90 seconds.
This means that you and your kids can craft your little hearts out without worrying about getting it on your clothes or furniture. The stix are easy to hold and the colors are vibrant. There’s virtually no drying time and no paint brushes to wash, so you just get all the fun without all the hassle. This is a great product that I will be buying over and over again!
You can buy Kwik Stix on their website or on Amazon:
We have a formal candlelight dinner on Christmas Eve, but dinner on Christmas day is a low-key and silly event so I decided to let the kids help me prepare for it by painting a special Christmas table runner.
I rolled out a piece of kraft paper and cut it to the size of our table, then let the kids go to town with the Kwik Stix drawing all of their favorite Christmas things.
It turned out so darling!
To finish it off, I cut a scalloped border and painted it, then slid that under the main piece of paper. I love this little added detail. It was worth the extra effort.
I added our plates and napkins and just look at our cheery Christmas table setting!
The kids had so much fun with the table runner that they wanted to do another craft right away. And you know what? I said yes. Because I wasn’t stressed and there was no mess!
So they designed their own wrapping papers and we wrapped a few presents to put under the tree. And they are adorable!
I love the idea of custom wrapping paper. It just adds such a nice, thoughtful touch. Grandparents and doting aunties and funcles will totally get a kick out of it.

I’m so glad I found this product. We will be using our Kwik Stix all through the holiday break.
