Sticklers have got to be one of our top fun reviews. Everyone wanted to be in one this one. Sticklers, made by
Sakura of America, are a fantastic new craft idea that consist of metallic colored die-cut outline stickers in gold or silver that come with special pens to color inside the outline. The pens are very "liquidy" and the liquid helps to cover the surface in side the metallic outline. There are many different colors and types of pens to choose from, types include Souffle (3D opaque ink) and Glaze (glossy transparent ink). The great fun about Sticklers is they can be stuck almost anywhere you can think of. Some idea include dog tags, handmade cards, gift tags, luggage tags, cell phones, cameras, laptops, computer mouse, gift boxes, gift bags, metal tins, cardboard boxes, picture frames, notebooks, ornaments.....the possibilities are endless. Everyone who came over to the house just had to get in on this review from young kids to adults, Sticklers were a big hit with everyone. I put my Sticklers on my cell phone, my laptop hard plastic cover, the daddy's cellphone, notebooks, gift tags, cards....The sticklers were easy to remove off these items if you decided you no longer wanted them there too. Just peel of the sticker portion and use your fingernail to scratch off the ink. The only time I had a hard time removing it was from my laptop case so just in case it might be a good idea to do a test spot on something just in case you might be stuck with it forever. I loved the idea of being able to decorate my cell phone, which is white so it turned out fabulous, better than the daddy's blue cellphone. My cell doesn't have fancy cover plates so I can now decorate it as I please. Because it's a cell phone though and gets used quite a bit and banged up against other things in your bag the sticklers do rub off after a while but they did stay for quite a while and you can always do some touching up. The daddy on the other hand was not impressed by our dressing up his phone so he was happy that it came right off, hmmmph men.
Sticklers kits retail at $6.99US and can be purchased directly from their US based online store, they ship to both US and Canada. Or you can use their store locator to find a retailer near you.
Being loosely inspired by Waldorf learning, putting an emphasis on the seasons is very important to us in our home. I try to draw attention to the changing of seasons and magical changes outdoors. We read a lot of seasonally inspired books and have a lot of nature inspired toys. We recently received a gorgeous set of seasonal books by Gerda Muller. This set of four picture books are a lovely way to inspire creativity and imagination in your little one. Each book contains it's own season (Spring, Summer, Winter and Autumn) packed full of detailed drawings of activities or nature from each season. It's such a nice change of pace having some picture books in the house. We like to curl up together somewhere cozy and talk about the scenes on each page. We discuss the weather, the animals, the people and what they are doing. We talk about them in relation to our life as well, how our weather or the nature outside our home is the same or different, about the things we do in each season and how they might be the same or different as the people in the book. The most wonderful thing about these books as that the story is always different, there are always new things to discover and new stories to tell. We also separate our books by season and keep off season books put away till the appropriate season, I find this adds to the magic of the books and keeps the little ones more engaged and interested.If you are looking for some creative ways to introduce the Season's to your kids or even just hoping to get some picture books this set is a definite must.
