I know Melissa and Doug products can seem expensive, at first. However, once you see how long they last, how much your child loves it, how consistent their products are, and how readily available they are, you won’t want to buy another brand. These “coloring books” work just as described. The “paint brush/marker” has a storage spot right on the cover. I will admit, I had to tape ours back on because I hastily ripped it out because my daughter (and myself) were excited to try it out when it arrived. Works great on trips and when child wants to do coloring and you have to work on household/work assignments. It keeps them busy, no damaging furniture etc, and they can keep coloring over and over. I love the fact that it is mess free and great for traveling

I got this because I was going on a roadtrip to the mountains with my toddler and I knew he would get bored and fussy if he was in the car for 3.5 hours with nothing to do. He's really into coloring right now, but the idea of having crayons dropping left and right and getting lodged in the seat was a no go. This was perfect. To get the "paintbrush" to work, you just unscrew the parts and fill the tube up with water, then screw the cap back on. That gives you enough water to "paint" most of the pictures in the book. The book was small enough that it could sit easily on his lap, so he painted away for a good thirty minutes without getting bored. The brush was thick enough that it was easy to hold in my 18 month old's hand. He LOVED the dinosaurs and would gasp when the water revealed parts of the pictures that weren't already outlined. The book also has little scavenger hunts where you can ask your toddler to find different images, but my toddler is still a bit too little for that, so we just talked about what he was seeing as he colored since I was in the back seat with him. I plan on purchasing another one of these for his Christmas stocking. This is a great no-mess gift for little artists learning fine motor skills, and a fun thing to throw in a diaper bag for entertaining kids on the go.

I bought this set ahead of a flight and my two kids (4, 2.5) were pretty excited by the variety. These are simple to use, clean, and engaging for any young kiddo who enjoys “painting” or search-and-find images. They dry fairly quickly and are ready to use again and again, though they do eventually become less responsive.

The media could not be loaded. My son loves coloring with his water wow book and I love that there’s no mess! It’s very convenient that all you need is water and one brush. The picture is engaging. They were sturdy to travel worth and worth the money! My only downside is the way the brush is stored is a little bulky but it still fits in my sons backpack.

Favorite travel activity for my toddler. No mess, drys fast, keeps her entertained for so long

Great activity for the kids! It’ll keep them busy for a little bit. The pictures are great and the colors are perfect. The marker it comes with is so simple to use and doesn’t leak which is perfect for on the go play.
