Flashy red foil makes this T-Rex scene pop, and that is exactly why children keep coming back to it. Faber-Castell prints the numbered color guide on a separate sheet from the illustration board, so a child can follow the guide to the letter or ignore it completely and invent their own dinosaur. Either way they finish something they are proud of, and nothing about the kit tells them they did it wrong.

The ten Connector Pens are the reason this set outlasts the supermarket version. Ventilated safety caps, easy grip barrels, and strong tips that can be rehydrated when they dry out. The water based inks wash out of most fabrics, so the good shirt survives. When the picture is done the foam mounting board, double sided tape and hang tab turn it into a 10.5 inch square piece of framed wall art. Faber-Castell has been making art materials since 1761.
