Not Re-usable
We received this as a gift. It says it comes with over 1000 reusable stickers, 15 interactive play scenes (which are slightly glossy) and 25 design pages (which are regular sheets of patterned paper for drawing on).
The stickers themselves are pretty standard. I didn’t find them much thicker then regular stickers and therefore will still rip if not careful. Especially for children who don’t have the dexterity or understanding to peel them from the backing very carefully.
The glossy pages are meant to make the stickers reusable. My daughter (3 years old) has other repositional sticker books that she absolutely loves, because she likes to recreate her stories. So we thought this was a great product for her. This did not go well. The first sticker we put on tore the moment we tried to peel it off, taking the paper with it. I tried it with one of the smaller stickers as well to see if it would make it easier as it wasn’t going to take up as much surface area, but that too ripped the paper. When I was actually able to remove a sticker without damaging the paper (which my daughter never would have been able to do on her own), the sticker itself of course being flimsy was all crumpled and curled.
As a drawing pad that comes with stickers, it was a nice idea. It does have a lot of stickers which my toddler loves, and sheets to draw on, but if purchasing for the reusable aspect. Don’t!
