For the last few months, along with the rest of the country, we’ve been enjoying more time at home than ever before. Whilst my girls are very good at playing together, they do like to do other activities as well. It has been difficult at times to think of new things to excite them and keep them entertained.
I was grateful when we were sent some brilliant products from Little Brian to help keep the girls entertained and the best bit – They are Mess Free! I first discovered Little Brian Paint Sticks a few years ago, and I can honestly say they were the best discovery. My girls love to paint and I like a clean house. These two things don’t normally go together, but thanks to Little Brian Paint Sticks, they do.
Because they are mess free, I will even let them use them indoors. Which means they are also great for rainy days and we all know we have lots of them.We were sent The mini art station, which comes folded, to make it easy to store away. You then unclip it and the the boards stand up in place. One side is a board, with a clip to put the paper ready to do some painting.
The other side is a blackboard to use the chalk sticks. The art station comes with 10 sheets of paper, 6 mini Little Brian paint sticks and 6 chalk sticks, plus a duster to wipe the chalk board clean.
It’s great to have a double sided art station, which means both the girls can use it together if they wish too. Holly started with the painting, she is normally the one that would end up in a mess. But thanks to the Little Brian paint sticks, there was no mess at all and she loved using them. They were easy for her to take the lids of her herself and put back on.
Alice started on the chalk side, normally with chalk, their hands end up covered in chalk, that then end up on their clothes. None of this happened with the Little Brain chalk sticks.
Alice said they were really easy to use. Once she had finished, we slightly wet the orange duster to wipe it clean for Holly to have a turn.
The girls then swapped over. Alice said the Little Brian paint sticks were really colourful and found them easy to use.
The girls both loved the paint and chalk sticks and even if you don’t have the art station, they are great to use with a piece of paper on a table. Once they had finished I could pop it all away and store it easily. The girls did some great paintings and it kept them entertained for ages. Plus there was no cleaning of my table or children at the end!
We were also sent the Little Brian Paint Stick Paint A Puzzle, which is great for everyone to join in together. It comes with 12 sturdy puzzle pieces and 6 classic Little Brian Paint Sticks.
Holly loves doing puzzles and she couldn’t wait to put it together.
It was then time for the girls to paint the puzzle. They’ve never done anything like this before, and it was nice for them to have something new to do. The puzzle is farm themed and they had great fun painting the different parts.
It was nice for the girls to have something to work on together. They worked together to decide who was doing which parts.
The Little Brian Mini Art Station RRP £19.99 and is available at Smyths Toys The Little Brian Paint A Puzzle RRP £14 and is available at Argos.
