Melissa & Doug On The Go Water Wow! Reusable Water-Reveal Activity Pad – Dinosaurs

These are amazing. The paint shows up immediately when the water touches the book. My 2 year old painted this for hours! Very sturdy, vibrant colors, easy to carry.

What a neat toy! We love that the water pen is big enough for a toddler to grasp, that it leaves no mess, and that it is reusable! It keeps our toddler entertained and is a good introduction to coloring/painting since it can’t make a mess. It’s small size makes it perfect for a stocking stuffer or Easter basket.

I got this because I was going on a roadtrip to the mountains with my toddler and I knew he would get bored and fussy if he was in the car for 3.5 hours with nothing to do. He's really into coloring right now, but the idea of having crayons dropping left and right and getting lodged in the seat was a no go. This was perfect. To get the "paintbrush" to work, you just unscrew the parts and fill the tube up with water, then screw the cap back on. That gives you enough water to "paint" most of the pictures in the book. The book was small enough that it could sit easily on his lap, so he painted away for a good thirty minutes without getting bored. The brush was thick enough that it was easy to hold in my 18 month old's hand. He LOVED the dinosaurs and would gasp when the water revealed parts of the pictures that weren't already outlined. The book also has little scavenger hunts where you can ask your toddler to find different images, but my toddler is still a bit too little for that, so we just talked about what he was seeing as he colored since I was in the back seat with him. I plan on purchasing another one of these for his Christmas stocking. This is a great no-mess gift for little artists learning fine motor skills, and a fun thing to throw in a diaper bag for entertaining kids on the go.

Play and play again. Great easy to travel or play at home. Entertains kids. No mess

This is travel sized and easy to put into a purse or diaper bag. Only needing water makes it easy to give kids at the dinner table when out to eat or in the car for longer trips. Only downside is younger kids or destructive kids can scratch off the "magic paper" that allows you to water paint over and over again.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect gift for toddlers. Just fill the pen with water and watch the pages come to life. No messy cleanup.

Favorite water books! The cardboard behind the reusable paper is very thick and durable. Love these for car rides and my toddler never gets tired of them.
