paint sticks...

out of all the the activities and arts and crafts we do around here, i am not into painting!  it always leads to a big mess and stresses me out.  but i know that painting is a fundamental part of being a kid.  so although not the same, but way less messy i have found a product that i love!  they are called kwik sticks and are tempera paint pens about the size of a glue stick.  this is something i can handle with no stress and mess! click here for amazon link.
