Good Idea however.... . We bought this toy for my 2 year old son. It is a great idea and he absolutely loved it and with using just water it was excellent for no clean up. However literally about 5 days into using it the drawing part which is a soft material was already getting scratched up which made drawing on the scratched parts impossible. The ONE pen which is basically a plastic tube with a felt tip (think Q-tip) started to come apart in little pieces. About 3 weeks after having it, it was so scratched up on both sides just from basic use that you couldnt see when you drew on it anymore and the Magic Pen tip was compeletly destroyed and leaked. I had to throw it away, which was really disappointing because my son loved the toy and it was a great idea but obviously cant hold up for long and in the end isnt worth it.

Aquadoodle Go 'n Doodle Travel Doodler Reviews
Aquadoodle Travel Doodler is riddled with problems . My daughter rcvd the Aquadoodle travel doodler for her 3rd birthday and wow, were we disappointed. I cannot see one thing that makes it better/funner than the magnadoodle (which she got for her 2nd birthday and it still works great).
Here are some of the problems we experienced:
1) Aquadoodles take too long to dry. It can be frustrating to wait until your drawings disappear to create new ones.
2) The pen for the travel doodler is too small. The water it holds only amounts to about 15 minutes worth of drawing time.
3) The surface scratched within moments of opening the packaging.
4) The felt tip to the pen can be chewed off.
5) The outer hard surface takes up a lot of room, the actual drawing room could be larger.
6) The place to store the pen is an elastic rubberband and my 3 year old doesn't have the patience or finger dexterity to put the pen away.
7) The string that connects the pen is very short. The 3 kids and 4 adults that "played" with the Aquadoodle in the week that we've had it have all said the same thing: "why is this string so short?"
I am now thinking about getting my daughter the Aquadoodle mat, since some of the problems with this toy have more to do with the "travel" options rather than the Aquadoodle itself, maybe the mat is the better choice...?

Aquadoodle Go 'n Doodle Travel Doodler Opinions
TERRIFIC TOY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . You can now take Aquadoodle "no mess magic" anywhere with this portable toy.....and it is TWO SIDED for extra play! This will keep kids happy and doing a creative activity for hours - perfect for the car and/or restaurants. The toy also works great with the accessories sold for the big mat.

worth the money . I received this as a gift for my 2 year old daughter for her birthday. I hesitated from the reviews on giving it to her. As a mom of three small kids this is a great toy becasue she can play it alone, she can use both sides and its no mess. Anything that has no lights, music and involves creative thinking, imaginiation and quiet play is a blessing. The pen does run out of water and could have been bigger but the toy holds up well. I think worth the money.
Cons Review
Mom of 4 yr old and 22 months. . I'm a big fan of aquadoodle. Have 2 regular mats, 2 mini mats and 2 travel ones, as well as extra pens and stamping accessories. LOVE the regular version of aquadoodle for home and grandma's. LOVE the mini mats for hotels, restaurants (mini mats are flimsy and can be permanently creased). Was excited when this travel version came out and expected it to be a mini version of the larger mat. The frame is a bit bulky for travelling. The drawing surface is felt-like and can be easily scratched. The pen is too small and will run out of water shortly into your trip. I think the pens screw the opposite direction so kids won't open it and spill water. I would still buy this again only b/c I have to keep the younger one entertained in the car and the price of $15 is great for what you get. The product is a great idea but the felt is not practical at all and will get ruined quickly unless you take great care-i.e. don't let the child hold other toys while playing w/ this, etc. Place it in some sort of protection case. Re: the pen, you can buy the larger pens separately-they s/h just made a larger pen for this set. I keep extra pens in the car b/c they drop them often and I can't retrieve while driving. With multiple kids, they can all draw together. They need to come out w/ a portable product combining the best of their regular mat, travel, and mini mats. So far, each of the three products have different surfaces. I would be thrilled w/ a smaller version of their regular mat w/ that same type of surface. Hope to be of help.
Doesn't take a beating . Aquadoodles are one of the best inventions in recent times. And the idea of the travel aquadoodle is no exception. However this product does have it's shortcomings.
PROS
- Allows you to take the everfun aquadoodle on the go with you.
- There are 2 sides, allowing for more additional drawing space, while the other side is evaporating.
- Has an elastic loop on the side of the toy that the pen easily slides into, for convenient storage.
CONS
- Although it's for travel, the plastic "frame" makes the toy take up a lot of room (such that it doesn't fit in a diaper/carry bag.
- The pen is very small and doesn't hold much water.
- The pen opens/ closes the opposite of how you would expect (the "lefty lucy" rule doesn't work, making it hard for kids to refill by themselves)
- The felt area gets scratched and snagged very easily. Once it's scratched or snagged, the surface doesn't work the way it should.
OVERALL
I might suggest getting the Aquadoodle "mini mats". They are more portable, priced very well and you don't have to be quite as careful with them as the Travel Doodle.

Great Idea But Needs Improvement . I love the concept of the AquaDoodle as my daughter received the hardcased, double sided one, the large mat, extra pens and stampers for Christmas. However, after 3 months, the double sided portable one rarely works. I guess it has been used too much that now when drawing on certain spots, nothing shows up. This is too large to take with us on trips. Glad there are holders for the pens - thanks!
Also, for the pens: at 21 months old, she mastered taking the tops off and dumping the water on the board; and sucking the felt tips to get the water out - gross! My daughter has more fun with the pens - I find her walking around the house just carrying the pens around - guess she's trying to keep up with them. :-)
Also have the AuqaDoodle bear or mouse. Love this, but doesn't get as much attention as the drawing mats.
I will buy more and currently looking for a mini one that I didn't know existed, but needs improvement on the double sided ones and the pens. An expensive product for only lasting a couple of months!

Great Present! . My 2 year old got this for Christmas, and it has been a great present! No noise, no mess, no "mama help". The string attached to the pen is a little short, and it has one scratch on the surface already, but my daughter doesn't notice/seem to mind. Just bring a bottle of water with you for refills and make sure it doesn't get thrown around. I'm excited to try a floor mat version next!
No way to clean . The premise for this toy is great and it sounds like such a wonderful idea, but using it reveals a few issues. The most important being the fact that the screen gets grubby-looking and there is no way to clean it effectively. Another problem is that the "pen" doesn't hold a whole lot of water, so the doodling fun doesn't last very long. The screen is quite small and is quickly filled with drawings. Turning it over to use the other side is fine the first time, but after that, both sides remain "drawn on" for quite some time. I would not recommend this toy.
Good idea but doesn't last . My daughter took good care of her aquadoodle, but after a few months of moderate use the frabric in the center (most used) portion of the board no longer responded to the pen. After repeated attempts to get a hold of customer service, they stated they only back thier product for 30 days.
Dissapointed. Seems like a great idea, but didn't hold up well to even moderate use and vigilant care for spills etc.
