Students can create artistic airbrush shading effects using the powerful thick tip magnet. Plus, students can create extra contrast by swiping the magnet across the face of the slate to turn it black, then writing with white on the back of the slate. Box includes 8 slates, 8 pens, and strings to attach pens to slates. Safety Warning- For ages 5+, small parts, non-toxic. |
