plastic-covered table. Kids love to watch the colors magically appear! Once the
page is dry, you will have a charming work of art to share with friends and

Filled with simple, stylish images of well-known prehistoric
reptiles including a T-rex, a Pterodactyl and a Plesiosaurus. Just brush
water over the bold black and white designs to watch them burst into
magical color.
Do you remember these? You add water to the plain white paper and colors appear like magic! A flap inside the back cover gets laid under each page as you paint to keep the water from soaking through. The bold designs are little-kid-friendly and they are sure to delight in sharing their "paintings" with you. Pages are perforated and one-sided. The designs are so charming, you may as well just get them all now! Includes 1 round paintbrush (add your own water!) ~Sara
