Faber-Castell Paint by Number Fairy Friends – Double-Sided Poster with Watercolor Pencils for Kids Ages 6+
The Faber-Castell Paint by Number Fairy Friends kit gives children a complete creative activity: a double-sided poster with two fairy designs, six watercolor pencils, a magnetic wood frame, 3D stickers, and a color guide. Designed for ages 6 to 8 and up, this set lets kids follow the numbered guide to recreate the whimsical artwork shown on the box, or add their own personal touches. The watercolor pencils work like regular colored pencils but turn into a watercolor wash when a wet brush is applied—offering more control than liquid paints and creating no drying-out mess.

How do watercolor pencils differ from regular paints?
Watercolor pencils draw on paper just like standard colored pencils, but when a damp brush strokes over the pigment, it dissolves into a transparent watercolor effect. This allows young artists to control exactly where the color goes, reducing spills and waste. The pencils never dry out, so they can be used again and again.

Frequently asked questions
Are the watercolor pencils washable?
The product data does not specify washability, but watercolor pencils are water-soluble; they produce a wash that can be reactivated with water. Standard cleanup with soap and water is typical for most watercolor pencils.
Do you need to use the color guide exactly?
The kit includes a separate color guide that matches the numbered areas on the poster. Kids can follow it to replicate the box art, or they can choose their own colors for a unique creation.
Is the frame permanent or can it be reused?
The magnetic wood frame is designed to display the current poster, but the magnets allow the frame to be opened and reused for other artwork of similar size.
What age is this recommended for?
The manufacturer recommends ages 6 to 8 and up. Younger children may need adult help with the paintbrush and small parts.
