Seriously with the exaggerated photo?

The mat is fine. Works as supposed to. I laugh at the picture as it’s a blatant exaggeration.So much smaller than what the photo shows. I wouldn’t buy it again just for that reason of deceptive practices.I didn’t expect it that big but did think it would be bigger than it was.Product works. It’s fine.

Pros
  • It’s a mess-free way of teaching kids how to paint and write
Cons
  • The toy may not encourage enough physical activity or motor skills development

Great rainy day toy

The girls ( ages 5 & 3) opened it and were playing with it immediately without any adult help. It was a gift for the 3 year old but it was big enough the 5 year old could use it and not irritate her sister. I showed them how to use the stencils and stamps then sat back and watched them play. When done it folded up nicely. I put the accessories into small rubber containers as the plastic bags they arrived in did not survive being opened.

Pros
  • It’s perfect for road trips and long journeys
Cons
  • The toy may be too simple for some children to truly enjoy

Good writing practice

My 18mo old likes to try to use markers and crayons but eats them. This mat has water makers and brushes that she can use on the mat. She sucks on the markers and its okay because its just water. The roller came apart right away but there are plenty of stamps, stencils and writing utensils to use. The mat his thick and watwe doesn't soak through. The box has several grammar mistakes or unusual word choices. Consider this if you are giving this as a gift.

Pros
  • Drawing & Painting Supplies
Cons
  • The mat may not be completely flat, causing uneven drawing or coloring

Great fun for toddlers, and adults alike

This is keeping my son occupied for hours at a time during the holidays, especially in rainy or cold weather when we cannot get out. We are playing with it, drawing animals, vehicles and even playing games such as Catchphrase. It is really helping with his education and is also great fun! It is easy to use and, if you make a mistake, it is soon gone and the mat is re-usable. It is really bringing out his creative side.

Pros
  • My granddaughter loves this. Lots of fun for her.
Cons
  • The mat may not be compatible with all types of water pens

No mess. for my opinion

So much fun trip doodle and color with the water pens. They can't draw on the walls with those pens either! A big plus for my family.

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • The mat may not be durable enough to withstand heavy use

So fun! So cute! We Love!

I have been wanting to get my kids one of theses for so long! This is so perfect i love the bright colors and that the border is counting and animals and abcs it’s perfect! I love that it came with so much stuff and i have two kids so each one gets to have three pens and don’t have to share other than the roller, stamps and stencils which is fine but it’s perfect the mat is so big so they each have tons of space. It’s perfect! I am so in love this is perfect gift or buy for little kids…

Pros
  • It's an environmentally friendly product as it doesn't require any paper
Cons
  • The mat may not be thick enough to protect surfaces from spills and leaks

Bought it for our daughter when she wasn’t even 1 and at 2 and a half she still sometimes rolls it out and "paints”! What’s great is that they literally use water, so no fuss and no mess! Plus when it dries they have a new canvas to draw on!

Pros
  • I brought this to our family thanksgiving and it kept the kids busy all night! (Ages 3 and 5) A hit!
Cons
  • The pen may be difficult for smaller children to grip and use

Great gift in my review

Bought this as a present for my friend's four year old daughter after reading the product description. My friend said his daughter loved it and it was a lot of fun for her! Best thing is no mess! This will probably become one of my go-to gift for friends kids that enjoy drawing!

Pros
  • Water Drawing Mat:Alphabet Pattern.Be Easy To Use.Can Be Folded To Compact Size.Portable For Indoor Outdoor And Travel.A Good Interaction Toy For Boys And Girls.A Great Learning Toy For Toddlers.
Cons
  • The pen may easily break if dropped or mishandled

Mess Free Fun! - my new review

Got this for my almost 2 y/o niece and she loves it’s! Same with my 4 y/o niece actually. It is super low maintenance. The pens are slightly cheap but it doesn’t affect how well they work. For some reason, the caps to the pens twist on/off in the opposite directions as normal (these are righty loosely, lefty tighty). Other than that, it’s a great product for the price

Pros
  • My 2 granddaughters and myself enjoyed drawing over and over on the vanishing mat. Such a neat idea.
Cons
  • I wish I saw more of the reviews. Cheaply made and waste of money.

Another Good Gift Item

Kids have taken well to this one, all water-based pens so clean and non-messy.This has been a hit with both the kids 4 and 2, stencils are sturdy and the mat feels very durable.Pens open/close for refill is reversed so only adults can open them and refill.A good toy to help with learning numbers, alphabets, shapes, and much more.

Pros
  • It's pretty kewl. My baby girl loves it as well as her brother.
Cons
  • The water may leak out from the edges of the mat, causing a mess

It's easy to use, no mess, save and fun for kids

Good quality and size mat. My 1.5 year old daughter and 3 year old niece played together, they had enough space to draw. They were delighted. I'll probably order one more for my niece. After use, when all the drawing disappear there are no stains. The most important thing for me, I don't need to worry about marks in walls, floor and furniture. It's easy to use, no mess, save and fun for kids.

Pros
  • ‎40 X 28 Inch
Cons
  • The toy may not be sturdy enough to withstand rough play

Simple fun - my new review

Such a neat idea. I love how large it is and how easy it is to clean up. The extra stencils and shapes are a fun little addition. The only thing I don't like is that the water pens and paintbrushes leak a little and one of the larger ones drips from the tip. Other than that it's a good clean distraction for little ones.

Pros
  • ‎Toyk
Cons
  • The pen may be difficult to refill with water

Great product in my review

It's great for my toddlers, it dries pretty fast. It's well worth the money, it's the biggest size out there and it comes with tons of pens. My kids are dirty and they did get dirt on there. I wrote to the manufacturer and they said to lightly wipe the pad and don't wipe it hard. They got back to me quickly and always eager to help. And they are quick to fix situations.

Pros
  • It promotes teamwork and socialization when used with others
Cons
  • The mat may easily slip or move around on surfaces while in use

Just add water and off you go.

I'm always looking for something to entertain my grandchildren and having seen this water doodle mat it looked to be exactly the kind of thing they enjoy.The mat is supplied with a set of instructions, the water pens and some molds to use as shapes. The mat is brightly coloured making it immediately attractive to our 3 year old granddaughter, it is much larger than I thought it would be and that is a good thing as it means both my grandchildren can use it at the same time.The kids just love it…

Pros
  • Great gift to keep children creatively entertained.
Cons
  • Love it for my kids but it’s a lot smaller than what it looks like in the picture

Do not dry - my new review

This is a wonderful gadget to have. I bought for my 18 month old and she loves it. But also my 10 year old loves it too!. Unfortunately, dad washed it because milk spilled. Stuck it in the dryer and it is no longer the same :( still a wonderful thing and a must buy. Just must not dry!

Pros
  • It saves parents money, as they don't have to constantly buy new drawing materials
Cons
  • The mat may not be usable in certain climates or temperatures

Missing items - my new review

We ordered this for a Christmas gift for our daughter and we are missing a bunch of stuff. We didn’t get any pens and half of the stencils are missing. Very disappointed!

Pros
  • It’s a safe tool for parents who want to keep their children away from screens
Cons
  • The toy may be too gender-specific or limiting in its audience appeal

Nice and well made: my feedback

Just buy it. Its big and easy to use. Kids can draw on mat in front of you or outside. Hours of drawing means hours of being able to clean in peace! Lol besides being called to see every drawing on the mat before it dries .

Pros
  • ‎A388
Cons
  • The water may have a strong odor that some find unpleasant

The Grandkids LOVED this coloring mat!

I bought three of these coloring mats for three of our granddaughters ages 2-4 years old. each of them LOVED this mat! Better yet, THEIR PARENTS loved them too. hopefully no more crayons on the walls and tables. lol. These mats work with only WATER in the pen itself. as the child "draws" with water on the mat the picture magically appears! It is very cool! I do reccomend the larger mat if you are expecting more than one child to draw at the same time.

Pros
  • The Water Doodle Mat is an ideal educational toy for children between ages 3-12
Cons
  • The toy may cause frustration for children who struggle with the pen and mat

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Definitely 100/10 recommendation for the kids.

My daughter loves this. Easy to clean. Fun to use. Definitely recommend getting to help keep little ones busy. Will definitely be buying this again for a family member. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Pros
  • Kids can use it to learn how to write letters, numbers, and words
Cons
  • The pen may be too small for children with larger hands to comfortably use

Fun and Learning with Kids

A great way to start having fun and learning with kids. My daughter is 18 months old and the pediatrician suggested to start introducing crayons to her. As at this age, it is a little risky to give crayons as they can put that in the mouth and you need to make sure they do not color everything so thought of aqua mat and bought this.* With this also you need to sit with kids and help them supervise.* As this is a large mat so kids can play as they want not restricted to a specific area.* Works…

Pros
  • It’s a perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, or any other special occasion
Cons
  • The toy may be difficult to store or transport due to its size and shape
