Genius, no mess little reusable water coloring toy!!!!by truc (5 out of 5 stars)
August 13, 2016
If I could give these ten stars, I would. We have used them with my two daughters starting at 15 months. My three year old still loves them. They love to paint them, let them dry, and the- paint the scenes and people, and we have a bunch of different ones for variety. I love that there is no mess and the water is easy to fill and stays fairly well in the pen when storing for a while. Easier to cart around then a bunch of different markets or crayons and no mess. The water pen stores really nicely in the front slot so I don't ever lose it. These are GREAT for the car, the grocery store, waiting for the doctor, etc. I put a couple of them into our diaper bag and they are there when I need them. My girls love these and are occupied for quite a while with them. My nieces also love these, and they are between 3-6 years old.
Cons- they do scratch with use, especially if your kids are pressing hard. My one daughter will occasionally open the pen up and dump out the water, however it is not that much water and it dries quickly. Much less mess than markers and no need to hunt for marker caps that have gone missing. Great little products!
Young children LOVE these! Pages bow/warp after not many uses.

Nearly 4 year old immediately fell in love with this activity book. It has less pages than expected (I believe 4-5). The pages are made of a cardboard type material covered by the coloring page material and we have owned it less than two weeks and the material is already bowing/warping. The pages are pure white when first received but even after the first 'coloring' do not return to complete original state, you can sort of see the patterns underneath (no big deal to child). Pages take about 10 minutes to dry enough to 'color' again with the book laying on it's side and pages splayed to allow airflow. Each page has several items to seek and find in the picture - for example (not in the book) - 10 stars, 4 hearts, 5 diamonds. This book is GREAT for a mess free activity for kids on the go. The pens/brushes do have leak potential when placed back in the book while full.
Keeps my daughter occupied.

These things keep my daughter entertained for hours. By the time she finishes the last of the pages, the first ones have dried and she can start over.
My complaints are:
1. The brush has to have water added constantly. So while I originally thought this would be a great idea for a long car ride, I do not think it's safe to try to pour the last bit of water in my water bottle into the tiny opening of this pen while I also try to drive 70 down the highway. Because we are not stopping. Again.
2. The bristles aren't strong enough to take the brunt force of a 3-5 year old scribbling on this pad, so it ends up being the hard plastic of the paint pen being scratched across the surface. Basically, we have to replace them faster than the warping (of all the water on the cardboard pages) would normally call for, because my daughter has scratched off half the picture.
If you and your kids are more well adjusted than our family, you will probably love these. If you're as messed up as us, you'll think they are worth the problems, because MY KID HASN'T MADE ANY ANNOYING NOISES IN 20 MINUTES!
Amazing!

These Water Wow books are amazing. My 3 year old has been loving these for a couple of years. There is no mess, and the little brush holds water so it travels well. We have used a paintbrush in water when we have lost the brush it comes with, and that is great. She has also used her fingers in water to color on it when we can't find any brush. We have a couple of these in the car, and some at home. We change them out so she doesn't get bored. We bring them to basketball games with us so she has something to keep her entertained. They stand up over time, because she has had the same ones for years, and she uses them often, and they are holding up well. They also dry fairly quickly so they can be used again. They are wonderful!
Highly recommend for toddlers!

Purchased this as a gift for a 2 year old. She loved it!
The pages turn to color as she "paints" with water on the individual thick pages. It makes no mess, except for a little water. And when the pages dry she can begin again.
I love these and have several of them for my toddler. He adores them!
They are great for car trips, eating out at restaurants, and even for entertaining at the doc office. It's also nice how you have a holder for the "paint pen" and that makes it even easier to keep it all together (no lost parts). I keep at least one of these in our diaper bag at all times. You never know when you might need it.
Highly recommend!!!!!
Love Water Wow

M&D really struck one out of the park with these great coloring pads. They're great for traveling and stand up to loads of abuse without any sort of warping or discoloration. The water pens allow the water to flow smoothly, without creating any mess. The individual pages also include some "I Spy" style challenges to engage older children to "find" items as they "paint". M&D includes just enough pages that by the time your child is done with the last one, the first is ready to be colored again. Great toy for all ages (even adults with busy hands!).
Not very durable

I love the concept. However, the coating that makes it work scratches VERY easily. Also, it doesn't take much extra "painting" and the cardboard backing becomes saturated. It warps, stains, and scratches easily. My girls are really enjoying these......while they last.
Absolutely adorable!

Bought for my 4 year old niece and wow what a great purchase! I love Melissa and Doug anyway but this just solidified that love! My niece has gotten so much use out of this and even had me coloring with her. I highly recommend! Just maybe have a washcloth on hand to soak up any extra water!
My kiddo loves these!

My child absolutely loves these books and so do I. They are mess free and only require water for your child to color. They also come with the brush and are pretty sturdy. The pages reveal the colors after once they become wet. The pages dry, and go back to uncolored again so it can be used over and over again. Bought several of these for my child and niece. Melissa and Doug are always high-quality toys and these fit right in that.
Entertained for hours
