I was sent the Little Brian Paint Sticks Classic Art Station for the purpose of review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This post also contains affiliate links.
My kids are super crafty,how about yours? Jack is always drawing or painting and Olivia seems to be following in his footsteps. We were recently sent the Little Brian Paint Sticks Classic Art Station to review.
Retailing at £29.99, the Little Brian Paint Sticks Classic Art Station is the newest addition to the Little Brian range. Products designed for crafty and creative young individuals, this 2-in-1 art station comes complete with six classic paint sticks, six chalk sticks, paper and a duster. The double sided art station has a whiteboard and a blackboard, both which are wipe clean. There is also a clip so you can clip the paper to the board and paint at ease.
Shared play can be an issue in our house due to the age difference between Jack and Olivia – after all, five years is quite a lot. Often the things Jack’s playing with are too old or too small and fiddly for Olivia and the things she plays with are too babyish for Jack. It can be difficult to find the middle ground but it seems I’ve managed to find it with this.
I love the storage available in this set – there is a storage tray which is under the whiteboard and blackboard when folded and there are also storage pots for when the station is in use. The set is also portable with a handle for easy carrying.
Olivia and Jack have both been playing quite nicely with this art station together, taking it in turns to use the whiteboard and blackboard. I have been gifted with a number of their creations – they’re enjoying being so arty!
The summer holidays can be a very stressful time and bickering kids is not what I want to be dealing with so I’m appreciative of anything that causes a ceasefire for a while – plus it gives me some time to relax and read some books. The two of them have loved creating different things on the art station together and constantly ask to get it out and use it.
The Little Brian Paint Sticks Classic Art Station is easy to wipe clean too – all you need to do is slightly dampen the duster and wipe it over the artwork you want to remove. What’s even better is the Little Brian paint sticks dry in less than sixty seconds, require no brushes or water and provide solid and vibrant colour. Just what you want from an art set – decent quality products that don’t make a mess.
I will certainly be checking out more products from the Little Brian range. The art station is available at Smyths, Amazon {affiliate link} and other online retailers.

I love the look of the art station. Looks perfect for my son. Glad it helped give you a little peace 🙂
My kids spend hours with this, paint sticks are the best invention and helped us decorate our camp bestival flag
I love toys like this. They encourage creativity and imagination and get kids doing things.
It looks great, I love that it is double sided and wipes clean so easily. No messy, water paint is a big plus point too. Mich x
Its great that they’re able to play together, despite the age difference. This seems perfect for both of them xxx
I am trying to encourage my three year old to be a bit more creative, and I think he would really like this! It looks great! 🙂
We saw this at the London Toy Fair and it looks amazing – so handy over the summer holidays too!
I’ve wanted to get Mia something like this for a while as we had a chalk board but it was bulky and messy. Love the storage space and pots and if it’s easier to clean I’m all there!
I have heard great things about these. I love them and I think my daughter would really enjoy them too. God you got some peace.
