The article will consist of one styrene figure, 2 pages of pressure sensitive colored stick-ons (representing clothing and accessories for the figure), 2 pages of plain white stick-ons, 1 box of eight crayons and an instruction sheet. The crayons are intended to be used to color the plain white stick-ons which represent the doll's apparel. All items will be imported packed in a cardboard box ready for retail sale. Item number 7200 is called "Scenic Sandi". This product includes one printed trifold board measuring about 28 inches in length and 12 inches in height, 2 pages of stick-ons (representing various indoor and outdoor objects), 1 printed page for coloring, 1 box of eight crayons and an instruction sheet.
