Quick answer

To create art with the FantaColor Portable 150, simply insert the colorful pegs into the pegboard to form patterns or pictures—either by copying the included album examples or inventing your own designs.

Why FantaColor Portable 150 is great for beginners

This set is designed for children who are new to peg art. The 150 pegs and compact case make it easy to start without feeling overwhelmed. The included album provides ready-made patterns, so kids can follow along or experiment freely. The portable case keeps everything organized and is ideal for travel.

What you need to know before starting

The FantaColor Portable 150 includes a pegboard, 150 pegs in various colors, and an idea album. The pegs are small, so adult supervision is recommended for children under 3. The board has a grid that helps align pegs neatly, but you can also place them randomly for abstract art.

Step-by-step guide to creating your first peg mosaic

Step 1: Set up your workspace: Open the FantaColor Portable 150 case and place the pegboard on a flat, stable surface. Separate the pegs by color in small piles or cups for easy access. A tidy workspace helps kids focus and reduces the chance of losing pegs.
Step 2: Choose a design or go freeform: Flip through the included album and pick a pattern, or decide to create your own design. For beginners, starting with a simple shape like a heart or star is easier. Don't worry about mistakes—pegs can be removed and repositioned easily.
Step 3: Start placing pegs: Hold a peg by its top and gently push it into a hole on the board. Press until it sits flush. Work row by row or color by color, depending on your design. If a peg feels too tight, check that you are inserting it straight—angled pegs can be harder to push in.
Step 4: Fill the board and check your work: Continue placing pegs until your design is complete. Step back to see the overall picture. Adjust any pegs that look out of place or swap colors if needed. Leaving a few empty holes can create interesting negative space effects.
Step 5: Store your creation or start over: When finished, you can leave the design on the board for display, or remove the pegs and store them in the case. The case keeps everything together for next time. To remove pegs, gently pull them straight up—twisting can damage the peg or board over time.
