Product description
The items under consideration are sets of printed scenes packaged together with accompanying stickers used to embellish and complete the scene. Item #120-181, “In the Forest,” consists of twelve sheets of printed scenes (on 300gsm cardstock), measuring approximately 8.2” x 8.2”, and twelve sheets of stickers. The sheets are digitally printed with forest scenes of trees, plants, animals, and insects. Each scene includes grayed-out shapes that match to stickers provided on its corresponding sticker sheets. For example, the child peels off the fox sticker and places it in the specifically shaped area on the forest scene to accept the fox. Item #120-180 is identical in basic design but depicts a farmer’s market scene with corresponding stickers. The scenes are single-use, as the stickers cannot be removed and replaced.
