Melissa & Doug On the Go Water Wow!

These books are a God send. I bought a bunch of these for my son for when we have to sit for long periods when he gets his chemo treatments. There is zero mess and they are reusable. Unscrew the plastic pen, fill it with water, and then screw it closed. Then start "painting". Through some kind of awesome magic, the colors appear on the page and do not run. You can rub the page across your clothes and the only "mess" may be a little bit of excess water from the pen if you color the same part over and over again. To dry it, I usually stand the book on its side and spread the cardboard pages apart so they're not touching. Within about 5 minutes, the pages are dry and ready to be used again. When you're done, empty the pen and it fits into its own plastic holder on the front of the book. They are perfect and whoever invented these is a genius. These are perfect for little, little kids. My son is 3 and my daughter is 19 months and both love them and can handle using them independently. The price is great and the delivery was quick. My only wish is that all of the smaller books came in one big book. I'd pay for that. Another awesome Melissa and Doug product.
