Stickers for boys. Or girls. Cool how that works.
Imagine a knight in his breeches. It's up to you to put the correct clothing and armor on him. Without the proper threads, he's absolutely lost. What's a lad to do? We've seen paper dolls before, which almost always cater to girls and often involve ballerinas, fairies, and princesses. But these? Different. Usborne Activities takes sticker dressing in an entirely new direction with their Sticker Dressing Knights. We're talking jousting and shiny armor. Children learn about different types of knights, as well as the associated garb, with easy-to-follow directions; although younger ones may need some assistance with the reading component. My littlest guy put the stickers wherever he darn well pleased, and that was fine too. Stickers are a form of expression for kids that is relatively cheap, eye catching and travels well. The chance to turn them into a historical tool now is just plain cool. -Eva Sticker Dressing Knights is available at your independent bookstore or online at Usborne
