Description
Our spider temporary tattoos fill each sheet with a crowd of creepy-crawlies drawn in a lively illustrated style, from a long-legged grey spider with red markings to a big, hairy orange one with bristling legs. Around them scuttle a teal spider, a fuzzy brown spider, a purple one, a little black one, a small green spider dangling on its thread and a yellow spider sitting in the middle of its web, with tiny spiders tucked into webs in the corners. The designs come in a mix of sizes and images, so there are bold pieces to show off and small ones to dot about. Each sheet is 11cm across and 16cm long.
They make a fun bit of make-believe for anyone who loves a good scare or a closer look at eight-legged wildlife. A big grey spider with a small purple one beside it sits nicely on the upper arm, while a single tiny spider makes a sneaky surprise on a wrist or the back of a hand. We like them for the dressing-up box, a garden bug hunt or a nature project about minibeasts, when a spider or two creeping up a sleeve adds to the fun.
The tattoo sheets are made from paper and PET plastic, and the plastic is marked recyclable number 1, so check what your local collection takes once the spiders are used up. The tattoo ink lists tapioca starch, corn starch and water among its ingredients, with bright colours that give the spiders their teal, orange, purple and yellow markings. At just 0.1cm thin, the sheets lie completely flat, so they are easy to tuck into an envelope with a note, slip into a card or keep in a drawer ready for a slow afternoon that needs a few creepy-crawlies.
