Paint Pop Paint Sticks are an ideal introduction to painting and doodling; an outlet for self-expression for kids and a way for them to articulate their love for members of the family before they can even write. Kids can also use them to make decorations for special events and celebrations. The range includes a wide variety of colours and finishes plus practical storage solutions.
