Elmer's PictuRISE: Rainy-Day Princess Play

Elmer’s sells a lot more than glue, and several of their new products are priced under $10!

PictuRISE kits ($8) come with two cardboard “canvases” featuring Disney Princesses, six markers and one paint brush you fill with water. Color the scene with the princess markers then dab the paint brush on spongy flowers, hearts and butterflies to make them rise to about half an inch tall. It makes a cute, 3-D picture. The ink is a bit hard to get off of little hands, but the canvases are cute and the kids at our playdate loved these sets.
