Product description
The item is a craft kit principally designed for the amusement of children aged 6 years and up. Included in the kit are 8 stickers, 450 gems, 1 pick-up tool (predominately made of plastic), 1 wax square, 1 gem tray and an instruction sheet. The instruction sheet states the following: “The child, will cut around the desired sticker and carefully peel the plastic layer to reveal sticky dots. To decorate and place the gems on the sticker, the child will remove the plastic layer from the wax square, press and twist the pick-up tool into the wax and then pick up the gems and place accordingly. The wax acts as an adhesive to easily pick up the gems and place on sticker. Once all sticky dots have been covered, remove the sticker off the sheet and place on Notebooks etc.” These kits are marketed to inspire imaginative thinking through play. They are sold primarily in toy stores, or in other normal commercial channels for toys. The completed items will be flimsily constructed and, in all likelihood, will not be used over a long period of time.
