Review on Kids Doodle Mat 47X35 Inches Water Drawing Board No Mess Coloring Writing Educational Toys For Boys Girls Age 3-12 Years Old Toddler by Niko Knight

I bought this for my grandson's 2nd birthday. He loves to color in coloring books and try to draw images on paper. I'm a middle school teacher and thought this mat would be a neat way for him to learn more about drawing shapes, tracing letters, and just drawing freestyle on one surface. True to his age, he also likes to color or draw on things that he should not, like walls, doors, and himself. This mat helps him stay focused on the mat and activities, plus the assorted activity items keep his attention longer. It's a good size mat and large enough for my oldest three year old grandson to draw or trace at the same time. The three year old likes the mat and activities so much, I'm thinking of buying one for him, too. Great birthday gift, good option to teach a few basic toddler skills, and a nice way to emphasize that sharing can be fun. Good quality mat, easy to clean and store, and the pens and extra items work fine. One thing to consider for a child under 3 or 4, since he is just two, we are careful not to leave him unattended. He still puts things in his mouth sometimes. This has not been an issue for his 3 yr old brother, though. Great gift that's quickly becoming a favored art activity.
