Little Lulu Magic Rub-Off Pictures

Little Lulu Jumbo Cartoon Color-ups
Happycraft Tubby Doll-Maker Kit
Little Lulu and Her Friends Paint by Number
Marge's Little Lulu Magic Kit #1650 has a 1954
copyright by Marjorie Henderson Buell. This Whitman folder
contained "crayons to color and tissues to wipe off."
This kit sold for 59 cents. It appears that it came out in
conjunction with the Little Lulu and her Magic Tricks book and
record - all promoting Kleenex Tissues.All that remain with the
kit that I have are two boards, one cardboard and one paper, with
a slick surface on which the child could draw and then wipe off
to redraw on it. I don't know if anything else, beyond crayons
and tissues, came with it.
