Product description
You submitted a sample of a “Fashion Maker” identified as style number 4740. The toy set consists of 12 plastic plates with 24 images, 14 colored pencils, 1 crayon with holder, and paper packaged together in a cardboard box with a window display. To use, a child 5 years of age and older places a sheet of paper over a plastic plate. The plate depicts an image of a face, a torso, arms, legs, a handbag, a flower, etc. The plate is then placed inside the plastic frame, which holds the paper in place so the paper does not move as the child rubs the paper with the crayon. This rubbing action transfers the image on the plate to the paper. By mixing and matching the various plates, a child can create dozens of figures wearing various designs. The pencils are used to add additional colors to the finished design. All of the articles work together for the use of a child in imaginative role-play as a fashion designer “creating” dozens of their own fashions. Your sample is being returned as requested.
