I know, how can a kid “print” a toy? Well it’s a new creative activity for kids called Printies. Kids design their pet online, picking out eyes, clothes, colors, and things like that. Then when they’re happy with their design, they print it on the Printies fabric sheet. On the first pass, the front of the toy is printed. Then the sheet is turned over and on the second pass through the printer, the back of the toy is printed. Each pre-sewn sheet is 100% soft cotton but works just like paper in any inkjet printer! The kit includes plain paper for testing the correct printing procedure and an on-screen video takes the kids – or you – through the process. After it’s printed, tear it out, stuff it and seal it shut with a pair of shoes! There’s no sewing, no gluing, no cutting – and best of all for parents, no mess! You do need a color inkjet printer & an Internet connection. The Printies Pet Designer Includes: Patent Pending Printies Fabric sheets to make four Printies. 4 Pairs of shoes / Stuffing for 4 Printies and stuffing tool / Sample Paper / Stickers / Exclusive access to the Printies Pet Design Studio online. Each kit (there are 3 varieties) makes 4 Printies! Age 6+. Under $20. There's a demo at the company website:
