• Do You Have Tips for Using Crayola Quick-Dry Paint Sticks?

  The possibilities are endless with Crayola Quick Dry Paint Sticks! These colorful tools are water-based, soft, solid sticks—perfect for creating on almost any surface.

  
  

  For a 60-Second Dry Time:

  • Use on porous surfaces, such as copy paper, poster board, or construction paper. Non-porous surfaces like canvas board will extend the dry time.
  • A little goes a long way! Only use one or two layers of color. Adding more layers will add to your dry time.
  • Make sure you use the paint sticks in a low humidity environment.
  • Use a fan or blower dryer (no heat) to help them dry quicker.

• Do you make a sharpener for Crayola Colored Pencils and Color Sticks?

  While we don't manufacture a specific sharpener for Crayola Colored Pencils, hand-held sharpeners are the optimal choice for achieving a precise point. We recommend them over electric or crank-style sharpeners. Hand-held sharpeners with dual holes offer versatility for most standard-size and larger pencils.

  
  

  Recommended Sharpeners:

  • Standard-size colored pencils: Brass Bullet Pencil Sharpener and Chubby Pencil Sharpener. You can view these sharpeners on the NASCO website or call 800-558-9595.
  • Large-size Write Start Colored Pencils: Helix Hand-Held Sharpener with two holes. Find this product on Blick Art Materials using product code #21401-0100 or call 1-800-447-8192. Some eye pencil sharpeners from beauty supply stores may also work!

  Note: Crayola Color Sticks don't need sharpening, but you can achieve a fine point with any handheld sharpener that has a 15mm opening.
