My First Paint by Sticker delivers the same screen-free, mess-free fun that makes the original series so irresistible. The third book in the series features popular nursery rhymes. Kids will adore "painting" scenes from popular rhymes like "Humpty Dumpty," "Jack and Jill," "Hickory Dickory Dock," and more. Plus, the nursery rhymes will be written on the back of each sticker map for extra read-aloud fun!

The Paint by Sticker Kids® series (for ages 5 and up) has sold more than 10 million copies to date. In My First Paint by Sticker, readers ages 3 and up can confidently paint by sticker, too! At a smaller trim size (8 x 8 inches, versus the original kids brand at 9 x 9), this brand extension features larger stickers for smaller hands—perfect for kids practicing their fine motor skills and learning to recognize their numbers. In the older kids series, the number of stickers per image ranges from 60-100; in My First, the number of stickers ranges from 17-25—an age-appropriate number to build patience and confidence while fostering independent play.

Painting by sticker is easy, mess-free, and portable (plus, all the pages are perforated so multiple kids can create at the same time!). Created with smaller hands in mind, My First Paint by Sticker combines a lower sticker count with larger stickers for easy maneuvering, and no actual paint means no splatter, drips, or messy clean-up. All you have to do is 1) find the sticker, 2) peel the sticker, and 3) place the sticker on the corresponding numbered space.

While there are many nursery rhyme books available, this paperback has a fun, interactive component: stickers! There are ten nursery rhymes, including I'm a Little Tea Pot, Hickory, Dickory, Dock, and Humpty Dumpty, and all have brightly colored illustrations with room for stickers.

While I've read several of these, I haven't completed any with a young person, but looked critically at this one, trying to estimate when my grandson would have the dexterity and skills to complete this. One thing I noticed is that the pages with the stickers on them are perforated. Being able to remove this page and lay it next to the illustration would make putting the stickers in the right place much easier. In fact, all of the pages are perforated, so it would be easy to hang up the finished art work when it is done. This would also explain why the verses are on the back of the pictures rather than facing them.
Good Points
The stickers are easy to remove from the pages by bending them a bit, and the numbers are printed clearly beneath the stickers and on the corresponding space on the illustrations. It's helpful to have directions at the beginning of the book on how to complete the pages.

The nursery rhymes are fairly standard, but all good ones to know. The art is pleasant and colorful, and the style similar to other Paint by Sticker books if you have a big fan of this format.

When I was young, I was enthralled with paint by number kits, but the oil paints on black velvet were messy and challenging. This book would be a great choice for quiet art time, but is also very portable. My daughter informed me that there are even paint by sticker books for adults now, and that they are recommended for people who want to take brain breaks from computers or practice self care that doesn't require learning a new skill
