I love letting my kids be creative and color, but hate the mess and cleanup. Especially when I find crayon on the walls. This is why I originally liked the idea of Aquadoodle, but I found that Wyatt would get bored after a little while with only one color to use. Now that is not a problem, with the new Aquadoodle color pads, where you can choose from red, blue, green and purple!
Here is some information about Aquadoodle from their site: Aquadoodle’s water-only, patented technology promotes creative expression through fun, artistic play. After years of scientific development, we are confident in Aquadoodle’s ability to inspire young imaginations. The water-based Aquadoodle drawing tools are non-t0xic and ink free allowing your child to play in a safe and clean environment.
Aquadoodle was nice enough to send me one of their new Doodle Buddies and an Aquadoodle Color Mat to try. Blake was immediately fascinated when I handed him the Doodle Buddy to try. He asked if he could color it and was thrilled when I answered “Yes”! He went right to work and was totally surprised when the coloring he had done started to disappear. He then asked me to right his name on his new friend and if it could sleep in his bed. I love that the Doodle Buddy has a strap to hold the coloring marker, so it doesn’t get lost. Here is a picture of him hard at work coloring his new friend.
When drawing on the Doodle Buddy, don’t use too much water of it will smear. The good news is that it smears on the animal, but not your kid. We let Blake play with this after bath and he still went to bed clean!
Also new this season for Aquadoodle, is their Color Mat. This new mat is separated into four quadrants, which are each a different color. You use the same pen and it just shows up a different color on the mat, which is super cool! Blake and I drew for hours on the mat and he never got tired of watching the color disappear and us creating more art.
The Doodle Buddy comes in three choices: bear, dog, or penguin. Both the Color Mat and Doodle Buddy are recommended for kids ages 2 and up, but I will admit that they are also really fun for adults! These products will be available for purchase soon from Spin Master. Both of these products make great Birthday presents!!
