Simply using water and a paintbrush, your child will watch
coloring pages fill in with dreamy colors! The brush is included and stores in
the cover. Before you begin a page, unfold the back cover to create a barrier
between pages. Whether you brush perfectly in the lines like a coloring book or
just brush relaxing strokes across the page, the results are delightful. The
whimsical designs include unicorns and fairies in a magical snowy world. Once
the page is dry, you can tear it out along the perforations and share them with
friends. These are not “do over” pages. If you are having a party, set out a
page and brush for everyone on a plastic-covered table for group art time!
Publisher's Description of Winter Wonderland Magic Painting Book
Filled with wintry whimsy, from ice-skating unicorns to snow
castles, northern lights and other fantastical delights. Use the brush
provided to sweep water over the designs and festive colors magically
appear! A mess-free way to keep children busy for long winter nights and
for the holidays. Simply tuck the waterproof back flap under each page
as it's painted, to stop water from seeping through to the rest of the
book.
Using the magic water brush on your magic pages, watch beautiful colors appear in the designs (magically!!). The original Magic painting book includes a variety of topics including flowers, boats, birds, owl, butterflies, a teepee village and more! The other titles have descriptive themes. Simply dip the paint brush in water and float it across the page. A coated inside flap goes under the image to keep paint from seeping through. Each book includes approximately 12 pages or more. 8.5"x 9.5", pb. ~ Sara
