Paint by Sticker Kids has taken off! The four previous titles
combined have 761,000 copies in print and are showing strong sales
across a whole swath of retailers. Now introducing title number
five, Paint by Sticker Kids: Unicorns and Magic, hitting the sweet
spot of fantasy, this Paint by Sticker title includes everything
kids need to create ten bright and colourful illustrations of some
of their favourite fairy tale creatures and settings. There are two
colourful unicorns (which happen to be among the very top toy
trends of 2018), a friendly dragon, and a delicate fairy. There's a
mermaid swimming with a school of fish. There's a beautiful
princess, a wise old wizard, a misty tower, and that familiar
setting for so many classic stories, a snug little cottage.
Creating sticker art is pure fun and a nice change of pace from
markers and crayons. Simply find the numbered sticker, peel it,
place it in the right space, and little by little, a mesmerizing
fantasy image comes to life in the modern "low-poly" style that
uses geometric shapes. The card-stock pages are perforated, so
artwork can be easily removed for framing. Plus, there's no mess to
clean up!
