Description
This rainbow scratch art kit turns a simple pencil line into a streak of colour. Inside the box are twelve sheets of scratch paper and one plastic pencil. Each sheet has a black surface, and wherever the pencil scratches it away, bright rainbow colours appear underneath, so a doodle comes out in yellow, green, blue, pink and purple at once. There is no paint, no glue and nothing to mix: just draw and watch the colour come through. The box itself is cheerful too, printed in sky blue with bold, multicoloured lettering that reads Magic Rainbow Scratch Art Paper.
We think it is a lovely way to keep children happily busy at the kitchen table, in a playroom or at a desk. Because the kit is small and light, measuring 22cm long, 15.5cm wide and 3cm deep, it slips easily into a bag for a long car journey or a rainy day out, and there is nothing wet to spill. Children can draw flowers, stars, rainbows and swirls, write their names or a short message, or simply scribble and enjoy seeing the colours come through. Finished sheets make bright little pictures for the fridge door or the front of a handmade card.
The kit is made from cardboard, paper, plastic and wax, and the sheets sit flat in their printed box between sessions, while the slim plastic pencil has a pointed tip for fine lines. Keep the sheets somewhere dry and flat so the black surface stays neat for the next drawing, and brush away any crumbs with a soft dry cloth. As a present, it is easy to wrap and fun to open, and we like to tuck it alongside a storybook for a quiet afternoon of drawing.
