also known as "Gelato" art sticks
By Chel Micheline
These are also known as "Gelato" art sticks, which are manufactured by Faber Castell and marketed towards the art/crafts enthusiast. These are the same exact item, just packaged (and priced!) for kids and parents. You get the entire variety of color in this particular kit, which is a great great value.

These Gel Sticks are basically a semi-solid paint stick that rolls up and down. Basically it's like a glue stick (same consistency) but it's not glue- it's a semi-translucent paint.

I love these crayons- they are great to use with stamps (apply them directly to stamps and moisten with a spritz of water) and also great to rub straight on a palette with a dab of water to make a very quick paint. I use them for crafting and mixed media work and I got my daughter (who is 6) a set for her own art/crafts use. Both of us use them for different things, but we both REALLY love them and reach for them often.

Gel Sticks are a great tool for little artists
By Maura Batson
I bought these gel sticks as part of a Christmas gift for my 4-year old son thinking that they'd get a lot of use, but knowing that they wouldn't be the most exciting thing under the tree. I figured they'd go in a cupboard until a "rainy day." I was wrong! He absolutely loves them and uses them pretty much every day. In fact, I'm going to have to get more soon, as he's already run through his favorite colors. One warning, though: If you're purchasing for a child, these can get messy very quickly. Easily cleaned, but clean up is definitely required at the end of an art session with these.

The gelatos (I mean gel sticks) are awesome for artists and kids
By Deb C
Faber castell has recently introduced gelatos, and are marketing them to artists and paper crafters. They bundle four of them for $10 - this is exactly the same product, but marketed to kids, I guess.

If you like watercolor pencils or crayons, you will love these, and they are different. The colors are vibrant, and the application is creamy. They react wonderfully with water, and blend easily. You can color them on wetted stamps and stamp, use them with stencils, direct to paper, or use them with a brush. If you like water colors, give them a try. The metallic gel sticks are also fabulous.
