    Is it a REAL umbrella ? Full size?

    Or just a toy one?

    That is, does it work, is it waterproof and if so, when it's painted & decorated are the inks/paints not going to be washed off ?

    Or perhaps it should be considered more as a Sun Shade PARASOL ?

    TIA

    Not a toy - proper child's umbrella (measures about 22" from tip to bottom of handle when closed) made from waterproof white material. Pens are waterproof.

    NI branches of Argos have these at £2.99 (just checked Belfast Castle Court, who have these in stock), same as the rest of the UK, so not sure why the unhappy face...?:j

    Did this with the children on the weekend, worked very well. Pouring with rain all day (appropriately!) so we spent the afternoon colouring umbrellas. May even grab a couple for gifts.


    Only thing to note is that the pens are permanent, so old clothes and newspaper needed.
