Messless Drawing Fun . I got this product for my three-year grandson for his birthday. I can actually relax and do household chores without worrying about paint on the carpet, crayon on the walls, markers smeared on the furniture, or pointy pencils poked through the linoleum. If a child decides to use the special pen to write on something inappropriate, it does not matter...it is simply a very small amount of water that comes out. This product won the 2007 Top Toy of the Year Award from Creative Child Magazine, AND the Parents' Choice Gold Award from Parents' Choice Foundation.
The product is recommended for children 2+ years. I even enjoy using it.
It is an alternative to the erasable slates which I also use with my grandchildren and they enjoy.
This product consists of a durable fabric mat 27.56 X 27.56 and a plastic stiff-point, felt pen that you refill as needed with tap water by simply unscrewing it, filling with water, and then screwing it back together. The mat is bordered by cute geometric pictures of animals and common objects such as a tree, plane, rocket ship, kite, sun, umbrella and more. Using squares, triangles, circles, ovals, and rectangles, a child can copy these pictures, as well as drawing his/her own creations. You can also purchase stamps to make patterns, and a paintbrush to make broad strokes separately.
The marker makes a vivid blue mark that is quite pleasing. There is ample space for drawing. After a while, the picture gradually fades as it dries (sort of reminds me of how we used to give the kids a bucket of water and a paintbrush and let them paint on the sides of the house). I find the rate of evaporation just right...not too fast or too slow. You can speed this process up by working in front of a fan if desired.
The product can be used for entertainment, practice of fine-motor skills, and working with your child on shapes, alphabet letters, spelling, games, etc.
The CON to this product is that the images are not permanent should you want to save them (use a digital camera to record them). However, the CON is also the PRO as this mat is reusable over and over again and is very durable. However, because it is only surface washable, be careful about getting anything other than water on it. Using cleaning solutions, or machine washing it can destroy the special surface. (I had trouble getting some cake icing off of ours that stained and left a grease spot).
Maintenance of the product involves hanging it to dry when done. After it is dry you roll it up and fasten with the attached tie ribbons. If you roll it up damp, you will end up with mildew since it is made of fabric. It also has a loop to store the pen.
I purchased my AquaDoodle at WalMart for several dollars less than it is offered here. I think it is priced a little high for what you get, but for the enjoyment factor, it has been worth it and I am planning on purchasing another one for my other grandson. Great product!

Aquadoodle Draw N Doodle Reviews
Good toy for beginning artists . This is a great toy. My two and a half year old loves playing with it. I recently purchased it for a gift for a two year old and his mother tells me he plays with it all the time. Great for the beginning artist with a mom who doesn't like mess!! Its lightweight and portable, too so easy to pack up and bring out with you. My son even knows how to fill up the water pen when it gets empty so he can draw relatively unsupervised without me worrying that he will color on my furniture.

Great Toy . Bought this last year for my 2 year old. A year later, the toy is still in working condition, but not used as much as it was in the early stages.

Great fun! . I bought this toy for my niece last christmas. She was still too young to really love it, but i have to say all the aunts and uncles were crowding around it on the floor to play with it. It's a ton of fun- and i think when she's older she'll really enjoy it. But i think it's great, and when my daughter is old enough i plan to get one for her as well.
Very nice I bought additonal pens . Very nice, I bought additional pens, etc. Make sure your child doesn't use crayons on it because it won't come off, haha. Worth the $.
Doesn't hold up . This toy seems like such a great idea..but it didn't work for very long. Within a few months the pen just got dried up (even with water in it) and it barely makes a mark when you try to draw with it. You always had to push very hard to get a nice line, even from the very start..which wasn't exactly easy for my 2 year old to do. Maybe I will try to buy a new pen and see if we just had a dud? Also, the mat got water spots on it that won't go away.
Moderate fun for a 2 year old. . 2 year old likes to lose the marker. Doesn't hold attention for long, maybe when he's older. More fun for the adult playing with a 2 year old. Clean and not very messy. Would still buy but definitely price shop this item, plus an extra marker is nice.
