Melissa & DougOn the Go Water Wow! Reusable Water-Reveal Activity Pad - Alphabet - FSC Certified

The media could not be loaded. My son loves all the Melissa & Doug Water Wow! pads, but this alphabet one is especially great since he’s learning his ABCs. The colors are bright and fun, and it’s the perfect mess-free activity for car rides. Since it only uses water, there’s no cleanup, which is a huge plus! He loves these so much that the bristles on the water pen eventually flatten out, but we just replace it or get a new activity pad. Highly recommend for toddlers learning their letters!

Keeps my 2 year old busy for a little. Fun toy

Does Melissa & Doug make anything we don't love? These Water Wows are a go-to in our household, especially for the on the go! We always have one in the diaper bag and in the car! Simple, quiet, and once dried they can be colored all over again. We've used them to keep our daughter (and nephew) quiet during wedding ceremonies, long car rides, and restaurant trips as a distraction for a hungry toddler. Will continue to purchase these as gifts for family and friends in the future.

A decent way for your kiddo to practice reading and writing the alphabet. Different aspects of each page allow it to grow with your child as their development and understanding progress. We have a bunch of different themes and every one has been popular with my son for over a year. So definitely recommend, especially as they aren't expensive.The only problem I have run into is the fact that as he is trying to trace the letters the brush doesn't allow for smooth changing of direction. Even I have had issues making the letters be shaped correctly. The same has been true of the Numbers Water Wow.Also worth noting is that these don't store easily due to the compartment for the water pen.

We bought 4 different styles of the "Water Wow" to use at church with our 2 year old twin toddlers. They are a lifesaver!!! It is HARD to get a 2 year old to be quiet for an hour, and this book helps for a good 20-30 minutes!Pros:-Bright colors, easy to use-Dries super quick so you can draw on it again in a matter of minutesCons:-The major con about this book is the paintbrush/pen. You have to be somewhat gentle with it. One of my twins does great and doesn't have any problems with it. She uses it in her hand like a pencil and makes the strokes to show the colors. My other twin, however, pushes straight down on the brush and it frays out all the fibers. She doesn't understand how to do it any other way. Because of this we have gone through 2 of these pens and had to buy all new books. Why don't they just sell the replacement pens?! When toddlers press down on them hard (which WILL happen) they stop working after a few times.-If you scratch the pen tip hard against the page, it will make a permanent scratch on the book page.

Keeps the kids busy and your space mess free! Super durable pages and bright colors. It’s helpful for toddlers learning the alphabet and makes it fun as well.

As a mom of a 2y, 4y, and 6y old, I think these books are a great product! Every age loves them. Don't know what space-age technology is being used that these things can be soaked with water to reveal a pretty picture and then dry to original state! Don't care! So perfect for quiet times for kids. A stranger on an airplane first let me use hers when my 2yo was flipping out mid-flight. Instant quiet! PRICELESS. I just kept refilling the pen/brush with a water bottle. (God bless that stranger, wherever she is now!) I had to look these up immediately and buy for my kids. I love for travel, restaurants, doctors' appointment, etc., not to mention the educational value of this particular one in teaching how to write letters (other books are mostly coloring and are just for fun.) My kids were obsessed with these for a long time after receiving and are still content to play with them whenever I pull out of my bag. Books are now pretty warped from amount of water they've been soaked with from the many, many, many times they have been used, but the drying effect continues to work. I frankly didn't expect the pages to still be working after this amount of use (and it wouldn't have mattered since price is relatively inexpensive.) These are my new go-to gift for friends and relatives with kids 7-ish and younger.

Super cute activity book for toddlers and early learners. Great practice for holding a crayon and nice cause and effect. Keeps my son entertained and interested.
