Brain Games – Sticker by Number: Animals – 2 Books in 1 (42 Images to Sticker) is a popular, family-friendly activity book from the Brain Games series (published by Publications International, Ltd. / Trusted Media Brands in 2022–2023 editions, with reprints continuing strong into 2026). It combines two complete sticker-by-number books into one oversized paperback, giving kids (and adults who enjoy relaxing puzzles) 42 beautifully detailed animal scenes to complete using numbered stickers instead of markers or pencils.
What You Get
- 2 books bound together — Book 1 and Book 2, each with its own cover and title page, but sharing one spine
- 42 full-page animal illustrations (21 per “book”)
- Examples: lions, tigers, elephants, pandas, wolves, dolphins, owls, foxes, butterflies, tropical fish, farm animals, woodland creatures, endangered species, and cute baby animals
- Scenes range from realistic wildlife portraits to playful compositions (animals in nature, families with babies, ocean underwater views, etc.)
- Sticker format — Each puzzle has a numbered outline. You peel and place the matching numbered sticker from the sticker pages (hundreds of stickers total, organized by number).
- Stickers are reusable-ish — Thick vinyl stickers that peel off cleanly and can be repositioned a few times (though they’re not infinitely reusable like vinyl wall decals).
- No mess — No glue, no markers, no coloring outside the lines—just satisfying peel-and-stick action.
- Bonus fun — Some editions include extra “bonus stickers” for free decorating, and all puzzles are single-sided so finished pages can be displayed or framed.
Why Kids & Families Love It
- Very satisfying — Watching the picture “come to life” sticker by sticker is addictive and builds confidence.
- Relaxing screen-free activity — Great for car rides, waiting rooms, rainy days, after-school wind-down, or quiet time.
- Age flexibility — Younger kids (5–7) can do simpler pages with help; older kids (8–12) enjoy the larger, more detailed ones.
- Animal theme — Appeals to almost every child (who doesn’t love animals?).
- Gift appeal — The bright cover (usually featuring a cute panda or colorful zoo scene) looks exciting in a gift bag or Easter basket.
Target Age & Difficulty
- Recommended: Ages 6–12 (sweet spot 7–10)
- Difficulty — Beginner to intermediate. Numbers are large and clear; stickers are easy to peel. No reading required beyond recognizing numbers 1–42.
- Time per puzzle — 20–45 minutes depending on the child’s focus and detail level.
Minor Notes
- Stickers are not holographic/glitter (standard matte finish in most editions).
- The two “books” are bound together, so you can’t separate them — but that also means double the value in one purchase.
- Solutions aren’t needed (the stickers are numbered to match the outline), but finished pages look like mini works of art.
In short, Brain Games – Sticker by Number: Animals – 2 Books in 1 is a high-value, mess-free, animal-obsessed activity book that delivers hours of calm, focused fun. It’s perfect for kids who love stickers, puzzles, and animals—and it makes an excellent gift for birthdays, holidays, rainy days, road trips, or any time you want screen-free entertainment that feels rewarding.
Highly recommended for ages 6–12 — especially animal lovers who finish coloring books too quickly and want something more “grown-up” but still relaxing.
