My Project

Kwik Sticks or Tempera sticks are a great way for a little artists to begin blending colors in a safe manner that is non-toxic and washable for little hands.

With this donation of tempera sticks, my early elementary students will be able to learn about blending with non toxic paint sticks that mix/blend colors with ease and are fast to dry, leaving very little mess to clean up.

This way my students not only in regular education but also in my life skills and autistic support classes will benefit from least tempera paint sticks to create various artworks for spring art show. I am always on the lookout for adaptive materials like this that will help younger students be able to create and experiment through the processes of art in a safe way. These temper sticks will definitely be a much appreciated material to be added to my classroom.

On behalf of my students and myself we greatly appreciate your kindness for donating to our classroom and for providing us with non-toxic and safe materials to use!
