On time and as described

This is a water colouring book where you use the large chunky included pen to colour in the pages which magically come to life in full colour as you colour it. Usually the great thing is there is no mess or paint or ink it can then be used on the walls painted self is only filled with water to activate the colour on the paper. You can simply leave the pages open for the book to dry out and it is then ready to be reused again in a few hours. This is a really good toy for the car and the size of the pen is really good for encouraging and improving a Childs pen grip.

The book contains 8 scenes over a two pages the first page shows you what you need to find in the main picture on page two, and on page two its a white part highlighted in black image and you use the water pen to colour in the page which adds colour and the image as well as some of the hidden panels which you use the small coloured lens to reveal. So the book acts as a basic colouring in book (no messy ink) and a find it book meaning it keeps kids occupied much longer.I do feel its a waste of space as the left side of the book is half taken up by multiple translations of what you need to find (instructions) and this could have been another colouring activity to make best use of the space. Also the book is made of card and the last page which extends out and contains the hanging hook for the shop is fixed and cant be removed unless you cut it off or take the entire back page of the book out. This does make the book bigger.

The colours are subtle, but the fact that they pop in with just water is fantastic. It has all the benefits of creative colour expression without anything like the mess and clean up of paint for the smaller, less well coordinated, hands and minds. The pages are a very thick board that seems to be quite durable and it dries without issue even when you have drawn on multiple pages. It even works well with paint brushes (with just water).

Lovely presentation of the pictures in a hardback form and the small water pen is a perfect sie for small hands.The water pen nib is lovely and soft and just glides over the picture so no pressure is required unlike other water pens.The picture reveal is soft colours and has lots of items to find so your child is learning about colours and learning to look and count the items that have been asked for them.Each picture is of a different scene which is lovely so evry picture is compleatly different.You can teach your child to be creative without the mess.The book and pen are both of a high quality and being so sturdy make them very portable, excellent quality and great value for money

Fun hard back paged book. There is a magnifying glass which aids in identifying mystery images and a pen that holds water which when applied to the paper brings the pictures to colourful life. This is ideal for the back of the car when stuck in traffic etc as keeps them occupied for ages

It’s a little water doodle activity book for kids. the best thing about water doodle is that its mess free and super convenient. The water pen is refillable, and the paper dries up and can be used again and again. Its super useful while traveling with kids. And instead of giving tablets and screen time to kids, you can give them doodle books like these to pass their time.
