Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need for scratch art?

All you need is the scratch art board and the included scratch stylus. There’s nothing else to buy. The stylus has a tip for thin lines and a wider edge for larger areas. If you don’t have one, a wooden toothpick will also work. Work on a protective surface to keep your table safe.

What age is scratch art suitable for?

Kids as young as six can manage simple motifs with large areas and practice their fine motor skills and concentration as they work. Older kids and adults will enjoy more challenging designs with small details as a relaxing, stress-relieving activity. Choose a motif based on age and experience.

Can I fix a scratch art picture if I make a mistake?

You can’t put the scratched-off black layer back, so scratch slowly and carefully. You can work a small mistake into the surrounding drawing or cover it with a decorative pattern. Use a light touch for fine lines. A thinner line reveals less of the background, helping mistakes blend in.

How do I preserve a finished scratch art picture?

It’s best to frame your finished artwork or cover it with clear film to protect the surface from scuffing. Avoid touching the scratched areas directly with your fingers. Hang a large-format piece on the wall as an original decoration, or give a smaller one as a thoughtful handmade gift.
