Wooden stencils for drawing, 6 pcs

About the game

Would you like to draw a butterfly, a boat or a hot-air balloon, but find it difficult to do so on your own just yet? Choose your favourite shape, trace around its outline — and your drawing is ready to be coloured in!

These wooden stencils help children create familiar images by tracing lines along the pre-drawn shapes, and then colouring them in however they like.

From the first outline to a bright picture — a small creative achievement, made with their own hands.

In the set

• 6 wooden stencils, 16 × 11 cm
• designs: butterfly, hot-air balloon, boat, little house, tortoise, cat
