Coloring Book

• Recycled Paper

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the paper acid free
Answer:	The recommended age for this is 4+ but the scissors are not sharp and with a little practice, your granddaughter should be able to use these.

• Child-friendly language makes letter and number formation easy
• Unique gray crayon stroke disappears when children trace over it
• Social-emotional activities for school readiness
• Color, number, and shape lessons develop crayon and pencil grip
• Works with a 9-month or year round calendar

User questions & answers

Question:	Do they make the wooden pieces to make the letters of the alphabet
Answer:	Hi there, no our paper is not acid free as we could not find a recycled paper that comes in an acid free format. We have found that our stock do not fade or yellow much over time so if you are wanting to keep a child's drawing then it should last. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks Will - Co-Owner
Question:	Is this actually the HWT - Get Set for School Pre-K Activity Book (yellow book) or the green HWT - Get Set for School "My First School Book
Answer:	I bought this for my 4 year old, and he found it incredibly frustrating. You have to hold them a certain way to get the pressure you need to cut. I'm not overly happy with them.
Question:	Is this just one book or a set
Answer:	There is no blade on the scissors. I did just try to cut my own hair and it did not cut mine :)
Question:	How many pages is it
Answer:	The blade of the scissors does not change, therefore they are not truly ambidextrous. Left handed scissors have the top blade on the left so the person can see the line they are cutting. That being said, if your preschooler just wants to cut paper for fun and get a general idea, these can still work.
