Melissa & Doug Reusable Sticker Pad

With 5 themed backgrounds and over 150 reusable stickers, this is a miniature activity that can teach children about animals and their environments.

For example, if they get tired of seeing a shark in the ocean, that fish might wind up in the duck-pond on a farm. Or a lion might find himself traipsing the ruins of a desert, searching for evasive dinosaurs and misplaced elephants. This pad can be as educational as it is fun!
