Paint by Sticker™ is a simple idea that makes perfect sense. The popularity of children's sticker books remains undiminished but once children reach school age they lose their appeal. Paint by Sticker™ takes the sticker concept to a higher lever so that children have to find and match shapes to numbers and add them to a range of illustrations.
The book contains what will end up as ten bright, playful, full-colour illustrations. The templates are printed on perforated card stock so they can be removed and framed or stuck on the fridge as the mood takes your young artist who will have the opportunity to create a rocket ship blasting through space, a tyrannosaurus rex prowling his domain, a pickup truck hauling its load or a friendly toucan hanging on his perch...
Harriet loved the concept from the moment she saw Paint by Sticker™ and was soon happily engrossed.
For parents the activity has the added benefit on not being messy (as with paints) and it being suitable to take to restaurants or on visits.
I particularly like the way it gently introduces the child to the concept of 3D and perspective in drawing.
