Getting into the Halloween Mood with Little Brian Paint Sticks

23rd October 2018

Little Brian Stick Paints - blog post header

When a challenge was set to great creative in the most spook-tacular way, anyone who knows us knows that it’s a challenge that we wouldn’t be able to resist. The idea is to create a Halloween masterpiece using Little Brians Paint Sticks. This is what we came up with.

WHAT ARE LITTLE BRIAN PAINT STICKS?

Little Brian Paint Sticks are pretty much exactly what they sound like. Paint….in a stick! Think a glue stick but with paint. We were sent a 24 pack of paint sticks to try out along with a 12 pack of fabric paint sticks.

I’m usually hesitant to let the kids loose with fabric paint due to the permanent nature of the paint (I worry for my carpets and their clothes). However, the great thing about these paint sticks is that there is minimal mess and no water required. They simply need to take off the lid, twist the bottom and get creative.

Paint Sticks are a fun and mess contained way to paint fabrics, perfect as an introduction to fabric painting. Once you’re finished with your masterpiece you can seal your design by using an iron or hair dryer on the reverse side of the fabric. Once complete, the design is set and can be washed up to 40’C.

The Bears loved the vibrant and bright colours and they immediately reached for their favourites (pink for her and blue for him). We were ready to get started…..

WHAT WE CREATED WITH OUR FABRIC PAINT STICKS

With a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old I knew that we needed a little structure to be able to create something that was actually Halloween themed rather than just bright coloured splodges and smears. Therefore, I did a little preparation beforehand and made a pumpkin and bat template – papercutting it out of card.

For our t-shirts we picked up some cheap and cheerful options for £1 each. The idea is to use the templates and dot the colour into the gap using our fabric paint sticks and create some fabulous bats and pumpkins onto them.

Little Brian Stick Paints - what we needed

Darcie loved it. As in LOVED it. She took real care to do each one carefully and to make sure that the card didn’t move as she dotted into the gaps. The fabric paint sticks were great for this. The colour was bold and beautiful, and the dotting technique created lovely clean lines to create our shapes.

Henry on the other hand….well, he still had a great time. Keeping the templates still was more of a challenge for a 2-year-old, and you can perhaps spot the two that I helped a little with. Though those were the only ones that I was allowed to do as I was quickly shouted down and told to leave him alone to finish his t-shirt. He did a great job and had fun doing it.

Once finished, I set the paint by popping some baking paper over the design, and ironing.

We purposefully created t-shirts they can wear in the day as we have plenty of things planned for Halloween week which falls in the half term holidays where we live. The kids can’t wait to show off their creations! Apparantly this is the face you make for Halloween….who knew?!

  • My feed may be full of hearts and chocolates but there's no doubt that Papa Bear knows me so well! @alexcv8 FEET ❤️
  • This boy ❤️❤️❤️
After a false start at potty training in the new year, he suddenly took a proper interest at the weekend and told us he was going to be a "big boy".
.
Fast forward 5 days and he's not only not had an accident all week, but he's also woke up bone dry every morning AND ditched the dummy. The real test will be out over the weekend, but where has my baby gone?!
  • I love it when the post man brings book treats through the door!! The question is, what do I read first?
.
I really enjoyed keeping track of what I read last year so I thought I would bring that forward in to 2019. Rather than having individual book reviews, I thought I would simply look back on what I read in the past month and share my thoughts. . 
Therefore, if you’re looking for some book inspiration, then I've been looking back on January over on the blog today. It's definitely been a bit of a mixed selection…..link in bio.
  • This girl ❤️❤️❤️
Funny and infuriating, loving and volatile. I wouldn't have it any other way.
.
We've had a fabulous birthday party at the ice cream farm today and stretched it out with a trip to Charlie's. If you live our way and have heard of Charlie's then you now know we're a lot lighter in the purse. I hope your Saturday has been a good one!
  • The snow has pretty much dissappeared here now but I can't resist sharing these beauties from my wander through our village on Wednesday. Moooo!!
  • As the country was covered in white today, our childcare was snowed in at home. That left us with an extra day at home and the dilemma of what do you actually do when the dreaded snow day arrives but there is actually work you really do need to do from home?! Is it really possible to work from home and look after small children?
.
That's exactly what I'm chatting a about over on the blog today (link in bio). So, what do you do?
.
Ps. How gorgeous are these two 😍😍😍
