Are these safe for toddlers?

The set is AP Seal certified by ACMI as non-toxic when used as intended. They are still small enough to be a choking risk, so supervise very young children.

Do they wash out of clothes?

Crayola labels the formula washable, and owners report it comes out of most fabrics. Wash soon and check the garment before drying.

Do they need water or brushes?

No. You twist up the stick and paint directly on paper or card. That is the main appeal over liquid paint.

How do they compare with Crayola watercolors?

Sticks are cleaner and more portable, but watercolors blend and cover large areas better. Pick sticks for mess-free use and watercolors for mixing.

What surfaces do they work on?

They work best on paper and card stock. Test on other surfaces first, since the paint is designed to be washable rather than permanent.

Our take on the Crayola Washable Paint Sticks

Crayola Washable Paint Sticks are solid paint in a twist-up stick, so kids can paint without brushes, cups of water or a messy palette. The 12-stick set covers a full spread of colors, from primaries to tan, brown, gray and black. The paint is washable and the set is ACMI AP Seal certified non-toxic. They suit young children and quick craft sessions, and they trade the coverage and blending of liquid paint for far less cleanup.
