Colorforms

colorforms

The original Colorforms set from 1951 has been re-released for a new generation of sticker loving, vinyl applying kids.  In case you don't remember them, Colorforms are vinyl shapes that you use to make pictures by applying them on a special canvas or other surface (windows are common).  Kids who love stickers will enjoy them because they can be removed and reapplied repeatedly without damaging them (there's nothing sticky on them, they stay applied via static electricity... I think).  The kit comes with 350 shapes and a slick cardboard canvas.  It is also 40% off and is eligible for free super-saving shipping from Amazon.

I found this picture on Flickr to show you what can be done with a little imagination (that is a window not a canvas):
