Product description
The cardboard sheet depicts a jungle scene of one large panda eating bamboo leaves by a waterfall and two smaller pandas across the bank also eating bamboo leaves. Next to the large panda is a vertical strip of animals in color while next to the small pandas is a vertical strip of the same animals in black and white. These animals include an elephant, a tiger, pandas, a monkey, a zebra, a hippo, etc. To use, the child places the plastic cover over the cardboard sheet and matches the colored animal stickers to the corresponding black and white animals on the vertical strip. The stickers adhere to the plastic by static (“electro-stickers”) and do not require glue or tape. The animal stickers can also be placed at random throughout the jungle scene. The item is designed to provide frivolous amusement for a child while helping to develop color and shape recognition skills. Your sample is being returned as requested.
