Sablimage Sand Art creates beautiful works of art which are really eye-catching. The Horse set features 4 different pictures of horses; running, jumping and being with a foal. Similar to painting or sketching by numbers, children are guided where to add the sand by pulling off the pre-cut adhesive sections for that colour and then pouring on the sand. The sand only sticks to those areas revealed and leaves sharp, clean lines. Four pictures are included with 15 pots of coloured sand and the designs are suited for children aged 4 years + and is great for developing creativeness, manual skills and a sense of colour.

Image result for Aquarellum Junior HorsesFar superior to the typical paint by numbers for kids, each Aquarellum junior art board has a pre-printed picture with faint guide lines created via a wax mask on top of high quality watercolour vellum paper. The wax acts as a barrier when children are painting making their artwork neat while the vellum paper soaks up the liquid paint making the vivid colours seem to appear as if by magic. The liquid paint can be applied repeatedly to the area in question until the results are just perfect. Each of these children's painting sets comes with high quality, washable liquid watercolour paints, a dropper and palette, a colour mixing chart and a quality paintbrush plus full instructions. The Aquarellum Junior Horses comes with four paintings of horses to complete. A fabulous gift for any creative child and suitable from 6 years old upwards.
