Glue stick crayons Maped Playcolor Instant 12 colors (model 10731) - Maped

Maped Playcolor Instant 12-colour glue stick crayons provide a compact, solid-stick alternative to liquid glue and traditional crayons for drawing, colouring and simple craft work. The product consists of twelve colours in a twist-up stick format that glides over paper and cardboard, allowing controlled application with minimal mess. The design is suitable for children and educational settings where easy handling and quick drying are important.

Advantages

The twist-up stick format eliminates the need for sharpening and reduces smudging compared with wax crayons or paste. Colours are vivid and consistent across strokes, and the compact casing protects the core from breaking when carried in pencil cases or craft boxes. Because the medium applies like a solid glue stick, it gives both colouring and light adhesion properties for paper-based collage work without liquid spills.

Suitable for

• Drawing and colouring on paper
• Simple collage and paper craft projects
• Classroom activities and group art sessions
• Home art projects for children

Key specifications

• Format: solid stick in twist-up tube for easy application
• Colours: set of 12 distinctive shades
• Suitable surfaces: paper and cardboard
• Finish: opaque, quick-to-apply colour with light adhesive properties
• Packaging: compact, protective casing for each stick

How to use

Uncap or twist the stick to expose a small length of the colour. Apply directly to the paper or cardboard using short, even strokes. For collage work, apply the stick to one surface and press the pieces together while the material is still tacky. Retract the core slightly after use and replace the cap if present to protect the stick. Avoid excessive pressure to prevent flattening the tip.

Usage recommendations

Use on clean, dry paper or cardboard for best results. Test the colour on a scrap piece before applying to the final project. Store sticks upright or horizontally in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve consistency and prevent melting or deformation.
