Melissa & Doug Coloring Painting Activity: Unleash Your Creativity! Review

Bought one of these for my 14 month old son, my girlfriend's 14 month old daughter and two little girls I babysit, aged 18 months and 3 years. Let me tell you that each of them loves to play with it! It's great and you can feel safe knowing that your child can't destroy your wall or furniture with this coloring book AND it's safe to put in mouth. I love her so much and I highly recommend her!

This little coloring book will give your child literally hours of coloring fun without the mess. I used to buy water based paints but never one that you could paint on and then it fades as it dries and you can paint over and over again - over and over again. What's even better, even if you touch the "paint" wet, your fingers won't get dirty, let alone the table, clothes, etc. When a child paints, the colors appear on the visible artwork. It also reveals unseen hidden elements, adding another…

I haven't seen these things used by my friends and always thought they were a waste - we've been on a long trip recently and the kids haven't even taken them out of their bags. boo Then we began alternating hospital visits for friends and basketball practice for siblings. I took her with me. When my two 3 year olds tried it they loved it! Your constant request is to take your "drawing books" with you. Even if they are not precise when "drawing", they enjoy it and can see colors and hidden…

I think we have about 9 books about water in our house, they are used almost every day and have been for over a year. We first used these books before our twins were 2 and have been using them for over a year, some of them wear out more than others. The cover layer on the pages can be scratched by drawing too hard, but the books are actually quite durable (the scratching takes quite a long time) and older or more experienced children will have no problem with them. Our boy LOVES to color them…

I gave this to my 3 year old daughter in her Easter basket. It is also an excellent filler for stockings. It also helps kids practice fine motor and pencil skills. I bet she's colored this entire book 50 times since she got it last month. She is still so excited when she opens the book and sees that the pages have gone completely white again. The water evaporates completely and leaves no stains between the pages, causing them to stick together. The sides are dense, even wet. Our daughter can…

Melissa & Doug's Water Wow sets are perfect for on the go! As long as you have water and the patience to keep refilling your little hand, you'll have loads of kid-friendly fun! We first bought a vehicle book for my 3 year old son to play with in the car. He and his 5 year old sister liked it so much I decided to order a second one. Currently she loves all things fairies and princesses so this was the perfect choice. You and my son still sell cars and fairies. Using them is ridiculously simple…

It's rare that such an activity can be passed down from generation to generation, but these Water Wow books survived two children (almost ten years) and are being passed on to a new cousin. I suspect it will take a few more decades. The case that holds the brush is included, but of course we lost it every now and then. So you can use a bowl of water with a regular clean brush, cotton swab, or even just your finger. Kids love the novelty of doing it different ways. After they have applied the…
