Balitono
Balitono has received numerous letters from parents who let them know how much their children (and they themselves) enjoyed painting the Paint the Wild wooden kits. Receiving such letters (and photos) from the fans is one of Balitono's greatest rewards in running their family-owned business. In 1989, their goal, as then and now, has been to bring the art of woodcarving from a carver to the creative hands of a child or child-at-heart. They also found that children are naturally attracted to a 3-dimensional "canvas" and what could be more natural than wood?

Each Paint the Wild ® kit has one or more solid wood sculptures wonderfully handcrafted from sustainable plantation wood. Each is hand-sanded and kiln-dried, ready for painting. Within the handsomely packaged kit, you will receive U.S.-made, high quality and non-toxic acrylic paints, paintbrush, educational pamphlet and specific accessories for your project.

Our kits are not paint-by-numbers, there's no "right or wrong way" of painting the wood sculptures, although we provide colorful examples on the boxes and painting guides, the process should be free-form and imaginative. On the other hand, the acrylic paints dry quickly and can be covered by another color or pattern should the artist changes his/her mind.

The kits also encourage sharing and learning about art and nature. They have been extensively tested with children and most have received the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Toy and Parents' Choice awards. Several kits were featured in national magazines as well as NBC's Today Show and Lifetime TV as their top picks.

We believe that in addition to the quality of the creative process, the painted art should be usable or playable and will remain a cherished keepsake for years to come. All the Treasure Keepers are perfect for keeping memories and little keepsakes. Playful Creations and Animal Figurines are projects that result in play figurines and hanging art.

Happy creating!
