Looking for a way to keep the little ones entertained this Fourth of July? Why not get crafty with some patriotic projects using Kwik Stix, Magic Stix, and Wonder Stix? These colorful art supplies are perfect for creating festive decorations that will show off your patriotic spirit!
If you're not familiar with Kwik Stix, Magic Stix, and Wonder Stix. Kwik Stix are solid tempera paint sticks that glide smoothly onto paper, wood, or canvas without the mess of traditional paints. Magic Stix are markers that won't dry out even if you forget to put the cap back on (a parent's dream come true!). And Wonder Stix are multi-surface writers that work on multiple surfaces, making them perfect for all kinds of crafts.
