Full details
The OOLY Chunkies Neon Paint Sticks are designed for young artists aged 3 and up who want to explore color without the traditional cleanup associated with liquid paints. These easy-to-use sticks function like crayons, providing a mess-free painting experience that requires no brushes, water, or messy palettes. While they are perfect for fostering creativity in small hands, users should note that they are not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts and potential choking hazards.

FAQs
Are these paints washable?
Chunkies are designed to be mess-free; however, like most art supplies, they are best kept on paper to avoid any potential staining of porous fabrics.
Can I use these on canvas?
Yes, they work well on paper and canvas, though they are optimized for paper art projects.
Do I need to sharpen these like pencils?
No, they are twist-up sticks. You never need to sharpen them.
How many colors are in the pack?
This set contains 6 vibrant neon colors.
Is it safe for a 2-year-old?
No, these are recommended for children 3 years and older due to safety regulations.
Does the paint contain water?
The substance is a solid, hard paint that does not require additional water to activate.
Troubleshooting
Paint stick is not advancing when twisted
Ensure the cap is removed and gently check if the internal mechanism is clear of debris. Avoid forcing the twist mechanism.
Paint is smearing on the page
While quick-drying, ensure the paint has had a few seconds to set before layering heavy amounts of color on top of each other.
Tip of the paint stick broke off
You can continue to use the broken piece as a crayon, or try to press it back into the housing if it remains soft enough to bond.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Chunkies Neon Paint Sticks is simple: remove the cap, twist the base of the barrel to advance the paint, and begin creating. No additional equipment is required.
Care Instructions:
- Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the paint from drying out.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the solid paint.
- If paint transfers to skin or hard surfaces, it can generally be wiped away, though it is recommended to use them on appropriate art surfaces only.
- Keep away from direct heat sources, which could soften the paint stick inside the barrel.
