FAQs
What is the recommended age for this kit?
This kit is recommended for children aged 6 and up.
Do I need an ink pad for the stamps?
No, the kit includes gouache paint and foam rollers, so no additional ink pads are required.
Can I use other types of paper for the stamps?
Yes, once you have created your stamps, you can use them on any paper or cardstock you have at home.
Are the engraving tools sharp?
No, the engraving tool provided is specifically designed with a round end to be safe for children.
Is the paint washable?
The gouache paint is generally easy to wash from skin and most fabrics with soap and water, but it is recommended to wear an apron.
How many sheets of foil are included?
The kit includes 6 sheets of foil paper for adding metallic accents.
Troubleshooting
The stamp is not picking up enough paint.
Ensure the paint is not too watery; use the foam roller to spread a thin, even layer of gouache onto the palette before picking it up with the stamp.
Foil is not adhering to the sticky patches.
Ensure the sticky patch surface is clean and free of dust or lint, and apply firm, even pressure to the back of the foil sheet before pulling it away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, prepare a flat, stable workspace covered with a protective plastic mat or drop cloth. When engraving, ensure the child has good lighting to see the lines they are creating in the polystyrene.
Care instructions include washing the foam rollers and palettes with warm water and mild soap immediately after use to prevent paint from hardening. The polystyrene stamps should be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth between color changes to avoid muddying the pigments. Always keep the foil sheets in their original packaging or a flat folder when not in use to prevent them from creasing or sticking to dust.
