Melissa & Doug Water Wow! - Water Reveal Pad Bundle - Farm, Safari & Under The Sea

We’re fans of these books! When you loose the brush or they no longer work you can use a regular paint brush (bulk pack for kids) and a bowl of water like you would with water color. Don’t spray with spray bottle - although it looks awesome instantaneously…it warps the cardboard pages

We actually bought some of these at a store, and then came on here to get more. The orginals are bit beat up, but still work. Here is our experience. If you have a two or three year old, they will use to much water and the pages will warp. Either keep a paper towel near by and dry the excess off (still lets the picture be seen) or except the fact that these are pretty cheap and it's okay. We flay the pages out and lay them on their sides to dry, and honestly they are so fantastic for busy minds. So much better than crayons and paper or sticker books. Just less mess over all and the pens use so little water, that the kids really can't go wrong.

I bought the Melissa & Doug Water Wow! Reusable Water-Reveal Activity Pad 2-Pack to keep my toddler entertained during travel and meals out—and it’s been a total win! She absolutely loves “painting” the pages again and again. Even though she doesn’t always finish each page completely, it keeps her happily occupied long enough for us parents to enjoy a moment of peace… lol. It’s mess-free, reusable, and perfect for on-the-go fun. I’ll definitely be buying more variations in the future. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a simple, engaging activity for their little one!

My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter loves coloring! I love the NO mess (lol). These coloring books are the best for a fun activity to share with her. Would HIGHLY recommend!

LOVE THESE! I have bought several different themes in the Water Wow book collection. The Littles LOVE them, and never get bored with them. THINGS TO KNOW: 1. The book pages are nice and thick cardboard, but they will naturally warp and the pages curl inward after about a week of water use - this is normal and there is a small note on the back of the spiral book that tells you this. 2. Play with your kiddos at first, and show them how to be GENTLE with the paintbrush so they only use the bristles (and not the plastic tip that holds the bristles in place) so they don't scratch the white page coating that makes the color beneath "magically" appear. 3. THESE WILL GET SCRATCHED UP OVER TIME, AND LESSON THE AWESOME COLOR EFFECT. 4. They are well worth replacing every year or two when they do get scratched and worn. 5. They say ages 4 and up but I would definitely say these are great for ages 2 and up - I'm sure it is labeled as such, because 2 year olds won't be as gentle and it will scratch up sooner, but it is age appropriate for early learning in pre-writing skills, fine motor skills, pencil grasp, and eye-hand coordination! So...let those toddlers color away!

Mess-free drawing books that actually hold their attention? Sign me up! I absolutely love these water reveal pads. The illustrations are bright and fun, and I like that it’s not just colors that appear — some hidden details only show up once the water hits them, which makes it extra exciting for my boys. They’re completely reusable, which is a big win. The water dries quickly, so the books are ready to go again in no time. The pages don’t get soggy either, so I can toss them back in my bag without worrying about a mess. One small note and the reason for 4 stars — younger kids might press too hard and damage the water pen, so there’s a little bit of a learning curve if you want it to stay reusable. When they get damaged there’s nothing to do except buy new books with pens or just the pens but they’re expensive… A good note is that the water reservoir lasts a while, so you’re not refilling it every few minutes.

I have to say this is truly a great product & I would definitely recommend it to anybody. I used to buy the Imagine Ink! books for my 2 year old but as you know those are a one and done kinda deal & after paying $5-$6 for something she used for less than 30 mins became kinda frustrating. I researched a bit more & found these. They’re completely reusable & its such a life saver for going out to restaurants & the like. I do have 2 suggestions to make them last longer: 1. Have a piece of paper towel with you when using and (pat down) dry the excess water that remains on top of the picture and the cardboard to avoid it warping too quickly. As you can see in my pictures it erases itself super well after less than 10 mins. 2. Explain to your kid to paint with a light hand onto the picture, because if they use too much force the white film will scrape off resulting in damage & the color picture to see through. My daughter has scratched a bit some of the pictures so I’m always attentive to explain to her not to. Shes only 2, so probably a 3-5 year old (intended age for these) would be more careful. Buy them! They’re awesome. Youll never have to buy the one time use ones ever again and that’s a huge plus.

Keep kids happy on airplane
