OMY: frequently asked questions
How do you remove OMY temporary tattoos?
Flash Tattoos come off easily with soapy water or a little make-up remover. Surf & Skate Tattoos come off with something oily: oil, lotion or make-up remover. Do not apply the Tattoos to the face or to sensitive or broken skin, and test them first on a small patch of skin.
Are OMY felt pens washable?
Super Clean pens are: they wash out with soap and water and, according to the brand, don't stain hands or clothes. Brush Power acrylic markers, on the other hand, have permanent ink (protect the table and clothes), and the ink of Smooth Ink alcohol markers can bleed through the paper, so slip a sheet underneath the colouring. Smooth Ink and Brush Power are not suitable for children under 12.
How many boxes of felt pens does an OMY giant poster need?
OMY recommends 2 to 3 boxes to colour in a whole 70 × 100 cm poster; Goal can also be coloured with colouring pencils or watercolours. Kitty, ABC and Goal are suitable from age 3. For ages 3 to 7, the Mini Coloring Kit holds a 40 × 50 cm poster with large designs and 4 wax crayons, and its handle makes it easy to take travelling.
