Super Scratch Art Pads: Mythical Creatures Hardcover – July 25, 2017

This is not one you can rush through! Lots of details, so it takes time to complete a page. I personally love it, the designs are great and the colors pop.

I think I've become slightly addicted to scratch art as of lately. This is the fifth book I've purchased and this one also does not disappoint. The pictures are beautiful and are very easy to scratch.I will say, however, I do not care for the scratch stick that comes with this book, so I purchased a plastic stick (black with the gold tip), which is great for getting large areas and thick lines. I also purchased a box of orange wood mani/pedi sticks to use, since they are super sharp. They are perfect for outlining as well as getting those extremely fine lines within the pictures. And then when they dull down, I just use a regular emery board nail file (medium grit) to sharpen the point. I lay the pointy side down sideways on the file and while I run it across the file, I simultaneously spin the stick. It sharpens them right up.I would also like to mention that the pictures within this book are quite detailed, so if you're looking to purchase this for an elementary school aged child, I would probably look elsewhere. This book seems to be made more for teenagers and adults. Young children may not have the patience for something this detailed.

I absolutely love this scratch art book! The quality of the book is outstanding and the actual pages are easy to scratch. It comes with a wooden scratch tool and that works excellent. The scratching part is actually a lot easier compared to some that I've tried in the past you don't have to have a metal tool to actually get the black part to scratch. The pages are beautiful the illustrations are great. The colors are phenomenal beautiful colors. I absolutely adore this I've completed several pages and it can't wait to complete more and will definitely buy this again. I can't recommend this enough for those who like scratch art.

I love these scratch art books, its going to make a great gift for my niece. However, I recommend making sure you have scratching tools on the side, I made sure the description said that the scratch tool was included before making my purchase…. lo and behold it does not include the scratching tool, at least mine didn’t come with one… so I’m ordering one hoping it gets here before Christmas.

Keeps her quiet too lolA thicker etching pen would make the experience a lot better. Had to add a bunch of electrical tape around the etching pen to make it more comfortable for use

Scratch art seems to be all the rage these days. The drawings were super cute if a little difficult to do. The wooden pen that comes with it is very thin and hard to hold. I even purchased separate scratch tools with more of a pen like size but the amount of pressure you have to exert is too hard for me since I had carpal tunnel surgery. My hands would be cramping and sore after a few moments. If it was easier to scratch and only the grey lines were scratchable instead of being able to accidentally scratch where you don’t want to, it would be way better. For those without hand limitations, this is an amazingly fun hobby!

I am thoroughly enjoying these! Very relaxing and fun. The pages and book are a good quality. I ordered metal scraper tools to use as the wooden one it came with was too thin for me to hold onto for very long and wouldn't stay sharp enough for my liking.Note on the rub off: The first page I had a lot of rubbing off while I was working on it. Before I started the next pages I sprayed them with a light mist of hairspray first. Then I also worked from the middle of the page outward so that my hand wasn't rubbing over completed areas already as much. The last two I have had no rub off at all. Hope this helps others.

This is fun but some of the spots are hard to stay in the lines. It is a little messy but it is relaxing. I love the Bigfoot page and mermaid one. I would say this one is more for adults since it has such small places to scratch. But I have a few of the other ones and they are better for kids easier.
