Troubleshooting
Paint stick is dry or not applying color.
Ensure the cap is properly sealed. If the paint stick is dry, try twisting the base to expose more paint. If this doesn't work, the paint stick may be depleted and need to be replaced.
Paint is smudging or not drying quickly.
Ensure the artwork is on a suitable paper surface. Avoid over-application of paint, which can increase drying time.
Paint sticks are difficult for a child to hold.
Ensure the child is holding the paint stick correctly, near the base for better grip. Consider providing a larger surface area to paint on.
