Melissa & DougOn the Go Water Wow! Reusable Water-Reveal Activity Pad - Fairy Tale - FSC Certified

I can’t say enough good things about the Melissa & Doug Water Wow books! These are a total lifesaver for car rides, restaurants, or quiet play at home. My toddlers absolutely love watching the colors appear like magic when they “paints” with the water pen.I love that they’re completely mess-free—no worrying about spills, markers on the walls, or stained clothes. The pages dry quickly, so they can reuse them over and over again. The pen is easy for little hands to hold, and everything is compact enough to toss in my bag for on-the-go entertainment.We’ve purchased several different versions (animals, vehicles, dinosaurs), and they enjoy them all. Great value, educational, and fun—highly recommend for toddlers and preschoolers!

Could there be a better travel product to entertain a late toddler? I have yet to discover one so universally loved and engaging as the Water Wow colouring books series. We own four of these things and my son just can't get enough of them. He squeals with excitement when we bring out the simple plastic reservoir pen and his book.The vehicles book is just as good as the rest. The concept is fundamentally simple: run the water-infused brush over the page for colours to appear. It's that simple. No fuss, no ink, no special activity required. Even the brush is simple by design, a twist-off plastic grip to fill with water and a white brush part. My little guy mashed ours flat within minutes with his heavy handed approach, but it still works more or less fine.Heavy cardboard pages stand up to little hands squishing and pressing from all angles to make the truck turn red or the sports car appear blue. Never fear! Even dumping all the water on this, as little ones figure out how to unscrew the brush, won't cause much of a mess. It really is just water.This product is simple genius, it really is. As a parent I appreciate how portable it is. We stand our book up on its side with the pages separated to speed up the drying process. The only drawback is the plastic pouch holding onto the pen. It's not very durable or easy to open on some packages, and more than once I've popped it out accidentally. That design could be better.Hint: Buy more than one of these if you have a long car trip or flight ahead because the pages take a bit to dry. Rotating between the same two can entertain a kid for up to an hour or more, and you can appreciate how powerful and delightful that is for child and parent.

These Water Wow activity books by Melissa & Doug are the best! They're for my kids, of course, but I love them myself.It's just a lot of fun coloring with the water and bringing out the colors of the picture. Then wait for it to dry and start all over!It entertains for hours! And it's a great "church" book. Keeps kids quiet with no mess!We actually received our first of these water books as a gift ... from another maker. We LOVED that book so much that I started looking for more. That's when I found these by Melissa & Doug. They are the same as the other only they have improved the brush. The Melissa & Doug brush is more like a paint brush that is flexible back and forth. The water also flows out at a better rate, which keeps it from coming out too much at a time, so the water is contained in the brush and does not get all over the book. They are also easier for kids to fill up on their own, without adult help. And they hold more water! For the brush alone, I am partial to the Melissa & Doug books. (However, there are more designs available by other brands.) (The price is pretty good when bundled, but alone can get a bit pricey. I wouldn't pay more than $4.99.)

We love these- always take with us in the car, to restaurants, etc. No mess, easy and quick drying to reuse the pages quickly, and such an affordable item that they'll play with for a long time!

These are great for toddlers so no mess is made, however the pages scratch easily when wet which means the special coating to hide the color when dry comes off. Still amazing though!

These are great especially for road-trips or going out to eat! Love that it’s mess free and reusable. After coloring a picture it dries and it’s like brand new. Worth the money I definitely recommend!

Loved this book! Purchased for my almost 2 & 4 year old as we were headed to Mexico and I was searching for plane safe entertainment with "no mess" for mommy :) This is the coolest toy! It is a great travel size flip book (note that the top cardboard "hanging hole" area pictured is fixed to the book itself so you can either cut it off with scissors or leave it. There are white pages inside each book (thick cardboard so great against toddler's hands). With the included water brush pen (twists apart into two pieces where you fill one end with water and re-twist to close), the kids will paint the page with the water brush pen and magically see colors appear on the page. The water "washes away" the white film to reveal the pre-set colored picture underneath. What is so cool is that after about 5 minutes, the water dries and the color fades back into the clean white coloring page. My girls would paint one page, then flip to the next, then go back to see the first was already dried and ready to paint again. The only negative piece was with the water brush/pen- you should drain all the water when not in use otherwise it can leak onto the pages. Since its mostly a cardboard material book, if it leaks, like mind did, it can cause water damage/crinkling. Also the pen has a little plastic storage lid built into the cover. My 2 year old immediately ripped off the lid that holds the pen inside :( So I have to keep re-taping the lid back onto the cover to keep the pen inside the storage area. Otherwise, this is really an awesome product that will keep your kiddos entertained for a variety of situations- restaurants, car trips, plane rides, etc.

Perfect size for the diaper bag! Great for on the go moms! My one year old nephew loved it!
