Description
This box of spooky glow in the dark stick-on shapes brings a little friendly fright to a child's room once the lights go out. Inside are twelve flat shapes cut as playful silhouettes, among them a grinning pumpkin, a swooping ghost, a bat with outstretched wings, an arched cat, a skull and crossbones and a long-legged spider, most with simple cut-out faces. In daylight they are a soft pale green, and once they have soaked up some light they glow in the dark. Each shape is 9cm wide, 8.8cm long and just 0.2cm thick, so it sits almost flat against the surface it is stuck to.
We think they suit a children's bedroom or playroom best, where a plain wall or the back of a door gives them room to spread out. Scatter them in a loose group at eye level, or space them along a wall so the glow stretches across the room once it grows dark. A little cluster above a bed or across a wardrobe door works just as well as a wider spread, and because each shape is light and flat it never looks bulky. They help make bedtime something to look forward to, with a quiet game of spotting the pumpkin, the bat and the spider before sleep.
The shapes are made from PE plastic, and a sheet of 25 double-sided sticky foam pads comes in the box, so everything needed to put them up is included. Press a pad onto the back of each shape, then onto a clean, dry, smooth surface. To get them glowing, hold the shapes under a lamp or leave them in daylight for a while before the lights go off. Dust them now and then with a soft dry cloth to keep them looking their best. We like them grouped on a dark wall or door, where the pale shapes stand out by day too.
