5/5 Charlotte 'Good quality and the kids loved it - only minor complaint would be the colours are not very vibrant but this doesn't take away from the use'5/5 Angie 'I purchased this for my Granddaughter and it's just brilliant! It's really kept her occupied and she's loved creating on the mat! Who knew a simple concept with a pen filled with water could be so much fun!!? Highly recommended and money well spent!'
5/5 Nic 'Our son loves this product - it's perfect for allowing him to be creative somewhere that you can't use paints etc'
5/5 smithy 'Bought for present, and little one very happy with it ,'
5/5 null 'Brought this as a birthday present and it’s a great gift, means no more felt tip pens on the carpet!'
5/5 Mark145 'We brought this not too long ago and everything worked just the way it said on the box. Instructions made this very easy to understand, hours of fun with the kids.'
5/5 Kaz 'Happy with this nice clean drawing'
5/5 Supernan 'I brought this for my twin grandchildren and another one for their house too. They are nearly two and it's a great way for them to learn to hold a pen and try writing. No mess, dries off so they can try again and brilliantly the mat has different areas, within it, of colour. So just fill up the two pens that come with it with water and across the mat different coloured lines/pictures can be drawn.'
4/5 Abz 'My toddler loves playing with this, easy to use and mess free.'
5/5 null 'I bought for my daughter and she loves it'

4/5 Babyj 'Bought for my grandchildren hour of fun but the design has changed the mat is only one colour when wet so it's no frills'
5/5 Tab 'This is the perfect drawing mat for little ones and they can get on it too with no mess and then do it all over again ! Brilliant 👍'
5/5 Topreviewer87 'I recently purchased this item for a birthday present I already knew it would be a brilliant gift as my son received one himself 2 years ago so I was already invested in the idea of clean painting,the hours of fun he had with drawing himself and others all whilt only requiring a small amount of water were well spent.another great thing about it is that it easily rolls up for storage or travelling.We took ours on the plane and got some water for him to do his masterpiece.The sear next to him didnt like it though as the mat did somewhat intrude onto there fold tray,but enough about that and back to the item in question.Great item,highly recommended would do and have bought again.'
5/5 MissR 'Bought for my 16 month old who absolutely loves this, keeps him entertained for a while. Still getting the grip of using a pen, this helps to develop pen holding skills'
5/5 Rachel 'I wanted something to encourage my little girl to draw and make marks without letting her loose with crayons, so this does exactly that. Would be nice if the colours that are revealed vary a bit more, and were brighter, as it all seems to be a dull blue/purple.'
5/5 Mummy2boys 'I bought this with the intention my son will play with it, well I think I've used it more haha! Absolutely great design idea completely mess free I love it! My son lives it because he finds that anything wet will draw something so he uses anything and everything. Really easy to clean and the fact there's no ink needed for the pens is even better. Great ideas for a little one'
