Dry-Erase Playthings

The Scribblers Toy Lets Tots Design and Redesign Their Very Own Trinkets

Why not foster creativity in children at every opportunity. The Scribblers toy is an artistic-encouraging object that allows your kid to be involved in the process of assembling his own playthings -- not at the expense of your wallpaper and carpet.

The Quirky-made knickknack is a six-piece set of components that enables a toddler to configure either a car, a boat or an airplane. Four wheels and a set of wings can be included or excluded from the design, but the tub-shaped body and the bent base become the primary parts of all three.

A white finish in dry-erase material invites youngsters to color all over every surface of their constructed Scribblers toys. The markers used to do so double as four play people who can ride in the decorated conveyances.
