Scratch Art Stickers - Dinosaurs, 4 pcs

These 4 large dinosaur designs start out completely black, until your child grabs the scratching tool and scratches away the top layer. Suddenly, all sorts of amazing colours and details appear underneath. The finished dinosaurs are wonderful little gifts for family and friends, especially anyone whose fridge door could do with a touch of Jurassic decoration.
Scratch-art activities are brilliant for helping children settle into a calm, focused moment of creativity. Here are just a few of the benefits:

• Children can see the results appear straight away, and it doesn’t take long to go from start to finished masterpiece.
• Children can jump straight into being creative without having to start from scratch on a blank sheet of paper.
• No need to bring out loads of craft supplies, and hardly any mess to clean up afterwards.
• Perfect for little creative breaks — children can scratch away for a few minutes at a time and pick it up again later.
• Children who struggle to sit and listen during story time often find it easier to focus when their hands stay busy scratching the designs.
• Scratch art is wonderfully forgiving, so children don’t have to feel self-conscious or overly critical about the end result — it almost always turns out beautifully. Starting with creative activities that feel achievable and rewarding can give children a sense of success and help them build the confidence to explore more open-ended creative projects later on. 

Here, essential skills are engaged, which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Supports your child's fine motor skills.
• It's time for immersion and relaxation.
• Fires up your child's creativity.

Suitable for ages 4 yrs. to 8 yrs.

Drawing, writing, and painting strengthen your child's grasp and fine motor skills, which are essential for learning to write legible letters and numbers.

This type of play simply develops your child’s control of the pencil, which is very helpful when they're in school. And it helps your child write letters to you – or to the elves or Santa Claus at Christmas time. Down the line, a steady hand and a good grasp are useful for handwritten Christmas and birthday cards.
