Princess Poke Art Book — 5-in-1

Craft book · Ages 3+ The dress starts flat on the page and ends up fluffy enough to touch. Take a small square of fabric, place it on the printed gown, and push it in with the poke pen. Then another, and another. Square by square the flat drawing fills out into a ruffled, layered dress that stands up off the page — and there are 300 pieces of fabric in the bag to do it with. Ages 3 and up 5 activities in one book 300 fabric pieces 24 paint colours Spiral bound No batteries Five different things to do 1 Poke art. Push fabric squares into the board with the poke pen to build a raised, ruffled dress. Three poke boards included. 2 Painting. Eight outlined colouring cards, 24 paint colours and a brush — the quiet activity for when the poking is done. 3 Dress-up. Four figure templates and three dress-up sheets, so the same princess can be changed over and over. 4 Stickers. Sticker sheets and two backing boards for crowns, bags, shoes and the rest of the outfit. 5 Paper cutting. A cut-out stencil sheet of dresses and accessories to press out and arrange. Why it holds a child for hours The result is genuinely 3D Most craft kits end in a flat picture. This one ends in something with texture and depth that looks far harder to make than it was. Slow, absorbing work One square at a time is oddly calming. It is the sort of repetitive task children settle into and forget to talk through. Real finger training Picking up a small square and placing it precisely is exactly the pincer work that helps with pencils and buttons later. Five kits in one box When they tire of poking there is painting, stickers, dress-up and cutting still to go — so the box lasts weeks, not one afternoon.

It is a blunt pushing tool rather than a needle, but it is a thin stick and it is used with force. Keep it for the table, and stay nearby with younger children. Can a three-year-old really do the poke art? With help. Placing the squares is easy, holding the pen steady is the hard part — most three-year-olds want you doing it alongside them. By five they will finish a board alone. Are scissors included? No. The cut-out sheet is designed to press out, but you may want safety scissors for the trickier shapes. How long does one dress take? A full board is a long sitting or two — it is a slow craft by design. That is the appeal for a rainy weekend, and the reason it is not a five-minute toy. Will it run out quickly? There are 300 fabric pieces, three poke boards, eight painting cards and the sticker and cutting sheets on top. It is a box you come back to rather than finish in one go. Start the first dress with them at the kitchen table. You will end up doing half of it yourself. Safety: contains small fabric pieces, small parts and a pointed poke tool — choking and injury hazard. Not suitable for children under 3 years. Adult supervision required throughout. Keep paint away from eyes and mouth, and wash hands after use.
