Summary from Buster Books
Sticker by Numbers: Animals is the second book in an innovative new series which takes stickers to a whole new level.
Simply match the coloured stickers to the numbers on each page to build
up stunning pictures. There's hours of fun to be had and with over 3,500
stickers, kids will marvel at what they can create using just a few
simple geometric shapes.
Children can reveal a handsome lion or a crouching tiger, embellish
beautiful birds, enchanting snakes, shimmering fish and lots, lots more.
Nayu's thoughts
Move
over art therapy – sticker therapy is on the agenda! Seeing this
title reminded me of the fun I had when I was little putting numbered
sticker shapes into matching number blank spaces on the page.

| Sticking in progress! |
To use the stickers because they are closer to the back and I couldn't quite be bothered to tear out the sticker sheets, I simply loaded up my fingers with the relevant colour sticks and stuck them on! They stayed stuck down, which was frustrating for my perfectionist side which wanted to move the not quite straight ones. Oh well, perfection doesn't exist!

| Here's the finished piece! |
It takes
longer than you think, and is relaxing. The numbered stickers are at
the back of the book, easy to peel and easy to place. You can be as
precise as you like (or can be bothered, in some of my cases!). The
cheerful colours provide an uplifting few minutes/hours away from the
world. It's easy to stop and start, so no excuses, start relaxing
now!
