Pixel Photo allows you to create extraordinary portraits using Quercetti pegs. Just choose a photo you like, upload it to Quercetti internet site and print the pattern sheets. The pegs come in six different colours, yet they create an amazing optical effect – observing from the right distance, the colours blend into a full range of tones, just like a photo. This is the same principle behind the technique used in the “pointillism” art movement in the late 19th century. The set includes the pegs and 4 perforated boards, which you can hang on your wall like a picture that will astound everyone with its magical colour explosion.
The amount of pegs used in this activity allow for the development of strength and endurance in the intrinsic muscles of the hand. The user can practice in-hand manipulation by holding a number of pegs in their palm and ‘wiggling’ one out at a time with their thumb, index and middle finger. Matching the pegs to their associated colours is opportune for practicing visual scanning and visual perceptual skills.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Unsuitable for children under 3 years due to small parts. Manufacturer recommends for ages 6-99 years.
