Don’t touch this. Don’t eat that. Be on your best behaviour.

Boring Boring Boring.

Until…

They discover something new… Something they were never supposed to… A magic paintbrush!

Legend has it that this paintbrush has the power to bring all your paintings to life.

But is that really true?

And if it is, what do they do?

Theres only one way to find out…
