Introducing a compelling new activity for crafters and artists, doodlers and coloring book enthusiasts of all ages.

Paint by Sticker includes everything you need to create twelve vibrant, full-color “paintings.” The images including sunflowers, a fox, a hummingbird in mid-flight, two boats on the water are rendered in “low-poly,” a computer graphics style that creates a 3-D effect. As in paint-by-number, each template is divided into dozens of spaces, each with a number that corresponds to a particular colored sticker. Find the sticker, peel it, and place it in the right space. Add the next, and the next, and the next it’s an activity that’s utterly absorbing as you watch a “painting” emerge from a flat black-and-white illustration to a dazzling image with color, body, spirit.

The pages are perforated for easy removal, making it simple to frame the completed images.
