Abstract

An educational device in the form of a children's pad printing kit (10). The kit includes a smooth, preferably transparent, transfer sheet (32) upon which images may be drawn or traced, one or more felt tip ink pens 22, preferably water based, and a hand manipulable deformable rubber-like transfer pad assembly (20) which includes a transfer pad (36) which is capable of lifting off an image from the surface of the transfer sheet when the rubber-like transfer pad is placed into contact with the ink image on the surface, the transfer pad being capable of depositing the lifted-off image upon another surface, such as the surface of a sheet of drawing paper, when the pad is placed into contact with the other surface. The kit may additionally include artwork (26) which has images to be traced, and stencils (24) which may be used for forming images on the surface of the transfer sheet.
