Not everybody is an artist, or as talented as Picasso or Van Gogh. However, everybody doodles. It starts from an early age. Kids start by drawing not-so-straight lines until they graduate to stick figures. Unfortunately, kids aren't as discerning on where they are supposed to display their masterpieces. In the absence of a clean page or a piece of paper to doodle or draw on, any flat surface – the floor, the walls, pieces of furniture – become fair game. Parents now recognize the need for a drawing surface that will allow their kids' creative juices to flow, without mess. The answer?
Aquadoodle.
Features of Aquadoodle
Aquadoodle is a range of "artsy toys", which will allow kids to play while teaching themselves how to draw, without the unnecessary mess and inconveniences that come with old-school drawing (which involves tons of paper, colors, pens, and what-nots).
Within the Aquadoodle set, you will get the following:
Drawing pads to draw on. They come in different sizes to suit kids of various ages.
Drawing pens containing hydrochromatic ink, which becomes invisible once it becomes dry. This negates the need for erasers since the moment the ink disappears, they can draw again. The pens are large enough, making it easier for little kids to grip them properly.
Aquadoodle is aimed primarily for toddlers and preschoolers, or kids in their formative years.
Price and Guarantees
If you buy the classic Aquadoodle set, you'll pay only $19.99. However, there are also other Aquadoodle varieties, and the price varies. For example, the Travel Doodle set costs $16.99 while the Jumbo Deluxe Mat is around $25. It is still unknown whether this product ha
s a guarantee or not.
Things We Liked About Aquadoodle
Cleaning up after kids can be quite frustrating, whether it is simply picking up the pieces of drawing paper, or scrubbing walls and floors to remove their drawings. With Aquadoodle, you can let your kids draw to their hearts' content and you won't be left with a mess to deal with later. Also, since it is self-erasing and the ink can be "refilled" with just small amounts of water, it sure saves a lot of money from buying drawing supplies regularly.
Things We Didn't Like About Aquadoodle
One complaint about Aquadoodle is the very short amount of time it takes for the drawings to disappear. Preserving kids' masterpieces will take scant minutes, and then it is gone. Detailed drawings are also out of the question, since by the time the drawing is finished, the first strokes would have already dried out and disappeared.
Is Aquadoodle Worth Your Money?
If you compare the cost usually incurred in stocking up on drawing supplies to the cost of buying the Aquadoodle set, the latter – at $19.99 – is clearly the more cost-beneficial choice.
Where Can You Buy Aquadoodle?
You can buy Aquadoodle at all major department stores. You can also purchase it directly from website and other online stores.
