Tomy Aqua Draw Mini Mats - Winnie the Pooh

from: Tomy UK Ltd First Order Account


My daughter is 26 months, and not so coordinated with coloring yet so I thought this would be a good beginning toy to help her get a bit handier with holding crayons and such. It's, well, so-so for this..... From the picture it seems you start with a 'white' or blank picture card. But there is coloring already on it, so when you do go there with your water pen, it's not like there is such a dramatic change. So she wasn't as excited as I hoped with the color changes, as it is not as nearly as dramatic as what you see in the pictures. Good thing is that it is compact and lightweight and the waterpens of course are wonderful cuz, well, they've only got water in them. Oh, the papers are not super durable either...

Tomy Aqua Draw Mini Mats - Disney Princess

from: Tomy UK Ltd First Order Account


I thought this was a gerat product, particularly for travel or for a situation where I needed my daughter to be able to entertain herself. personally I felt it was best aimed at a 2-3 year old; by 4 my daughter had very little interest in this.

Tomy Aqua Draw Mini Mats - Bob the Builder

from: Tomy UK Ltd First Order Account


My grandson loves these, however we have swopped the "pen" for a paintbrush and spillproof paint pot. He has had hours of fun. However the box is misleading as the "Paintings" are no where near as colourful as they look on the box.

Tomy Aqua Draw Mini Mats - Dora the Explorer

As soon as my 2 year old opened the box, she was rapt with these! She loves colouring but of course is too young to understand not to just scrawl over it all... with these mats that is no problem. They kept her entertained for at least an hour and she goes back to them again and again. I would recommend. Yes the pen is a bit small as a previous reviewer said but I do not consider this a problem. A much loved toy already!

Tomy Thomas & Friends Aqua Draw

This toy is not good value for money! The train is supposed to follow the pen's track but unless the track is really thick it will not know wehre to go, my boys found it frustrating. The Pens came apart almost immediately nad the train "lost" its sense of direction pretty quickly. A Christmas present that by the end of January was relegated to the bottom of the toybox.

Crayola Minikids Mess Free Magic Painting Set

from: Vivid Imaginations


My 3 year old girl got that as a present and she was initially thrilled with the novelty of it. The colour doesn't run so it's "mess free" colourwise but as the paste in the pots is grease, everything gets greasy. The sponges also need regular wash as my daughter used the same sponge for all the colours and later pictures ended all orangy..It's a nice novel idea, but a greasy one too, so I'm not very impressed. Also my daughter stopped using it as soon as the novelty weaned...4 stars for the novelty of it...Crayola keep trying...

Tomy Aqua Draw Deluxe

from: Tomy UK Ltd First Order Account


Absolute nightmare to keep clean, completely agree with the other 2 reviewers who have pointed out that it will be ruined if cant guarantee your toddler will no eat ANYTHING near it and will only use the pen on the mat.

Had it less than a month and its ruined had the same problem with the juice cup as the other reviewer pointed out once they know its water they will try in use their cups to make it all turn blue

Tomy Aqua Draw Mini Mats - Teletubbies

from: Tomy UK Ltd First Order Account


If you have never seen aqua-draw, the premise is quite simple. You fill the pens with water, and then as the kiddies draw on the pages, the colours start to appear. Its almost an inverse-painting! As the drawings dry, the colours fade, and back to the beginning.

Great alternative to paint... mess free really. Good if you are out and about. Highly recommend this, and the other aqua draw variants.

Crayola Colour Wonder Colouring Book & Markers

from: Vivid Imaginations


Ah... Crayola... what will you think of next? This one's a winner for many reasons. The concept is brilliant in that the children can use markers (like they see their older siblings doing), but are not able to ruin the walls, sofa, etc. in the process. You use clear ink markers to color the book and the colors appear as you draw. The color is in the pen, not on the paper, so it does leave some creativity to your children in choosing what colors they want to use where. I took this with me on a recent plane trip as a "keep busy" toy... no marking up the plane seats and it kept the kids busy for a while. I do hope that Crayola expands on this product to include more books, as mentioned in a previous review. Great CLEAN fun!!!!

My little boy is 2 and loves this in the bath. Putting things down the slide and using a jug to pour water in the top and making the wheel go round.
