These cute little Halloween creatures use the stripey Perler beads and also some super cool glow in the dark beads! If you're looking for fun, indoor activities to captivate your kids, this is ideal! The set includes 2,000 beads, a dog pegboard, a cat pegboard, six stand supports, a design guide and ironing paper, so you can get started right away. A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you’ll either need a extra large pegboard(49 x 69 tall) or to put multiple square peg boards together to form a larger “canvas.” As you can imagine, my brothers and I (and our father) played a lot of Mario Brothers. Hours and hours (I don’t want to know). And we had Super Mario Bros. and all those sequels. We were obsessed. With the pegboards provided, bring your favourite animals to life by placing the coloured beads onto your pegboard! When you’re done, place an ironing sheet over your design, iron over the top and then remove the sheet. The beads will fuse together to give you an instant masterpiece!
