Description
This magic slate brings fairies and flowers to a much loved drawing game: write, draw or doodle on the dark drawing window with the plastic stylus, then pull the side tab to erase and start again. The border carries the Fairies in the Garden design, with fairies in pink and white skirts among daisies, orange and yellow blooms, butterflies, leaves and bright dots on a deep teal ground, and the back is printed with a fuller garden scene beneath the slate's name. It measures 20.8cm long, 12.9cm wide and 0.6cm deep, and the drawing window itself is 15cm long and 9.3cm wide, plenty of room for a picture, a message or a game of noughts and crosses.
Slim and light, it slips easily into a bag for car journeys, train trips, waiting rooms and cafés, and it is just as at home on a desk or the table after school. The red stylus tucks into the blue side tab, so the two stay together between games. With nothing to sharpen and no lids to lose, it is a quiet, simple way to practise letters and numbers, sketch a garden of your own or pass a rainy afternoon. Anyone who loves fairies and flower gardens will enjoy the cheerful border.
The slate is made from card, plastic, paper and wax, and the stylus is plastic, so there is no ink or chalk involved: the drawing appears as you press and clears when the tab is pulled. Card and paper do not like water, so keep it dry, wipe the border gently with a soft dry cloth and store it flat so the drawing sheet stays smooth. It makes a cheerful little present that is easy to wrap thanks to its flat shape, and it pairs nicely with a favourite storybook for a gift with a fairy garden theme.
