Review on Melissa & Doug Coloring Painting Activity: Unleash Your Creativity! by Jonathan Olson

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 and he painstakingly spends over 15 minutes at a time coloring absolutely everything on each side, our girl gets bored more easily but she definitely still wants to color when she sees her brother doing it. We gave some away as gifts and I would highly recommend them to anyone with toddlers! Make sure you leave them on their side and let each side dry individually. Getting soaked will help prolong the life of the book. For the price, this is a durable coloring book that will keep yielding, last months to years, and will not deteriorate with use. They are amazing and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
