Scratch & Sketch Extreme Fantasy Art (Trace Along)

this has some of the most detailed scratch art i've come across, which is great fun. It's a bit tricky at times, i need a bright light to make sure i am being neat, but this isn't a problem. I do a lot of crafts, so i have a light for this anyway.the covering is really sturdy, and the extra cardboard at the edges helps keep the scratch art pages safe and stops them getting damaged.I have mixed feeling about the ring binder. It's easy to turn pages, but they print the pattern behind or under it, so i feel like some of the pattern is lost to this, which is a bit of a shame. I've had other books where the pages were easy tear out, and i feel like perhaps this might be better.but overall i love this book. it's got gorgeous, detailed patterns that will keep you entertained for hours. But i wouldn't recommend for young children, as it is probably far too difficult and detailed for them. I'd say this is more a teen-adult level scratch art. however, this same brand do more scratch art books for different ages, so there is bound to be one that is suitable for younger kids.

The images are wonderfully illustrated, and have a nice level of detail that sits right between ‘this is relaxing and casual’ whilst still dipping into ‘this is detailed enough to keep my interest, give me a little challenge and engage my focus’ - but the real star of the show is the stylus! Much easier to use and gives better results than the typical stylus you get for scratch art.

Really like this book, I bought it to keep myself busy while I recover from surgery. Its smaller than I expected though. Its about an A5 size but I will be buying the other books in this series when Im done with this one!

Overall pretty great! Over 10 pages in the book, quality of the paper is great unlike a lot on here that scratch away the foil. Comes with a tool. There's some mild markings on some of the pages but they aren't really noticeable once you've done the page. Great purchase!

Was received with pleasure. Hours of fun.
