My 3 year old really loves this toy. I love it because you only need to fill the pen with water, so there is no chance of ink on the floor or the table. The pen is then used to draw on the special white mat which then goes 'magically' pink (my daughter still can't work that one out!). The fun really starts when you switch on the Cinderella figure and watch as she follows the lines drawn on the mat and dances with her prince charming! The Cinderella theme tune is played and brings back a few memories for me too!! This really is a lovely toy.

A well made and beautiful toy any young Disney princess fan is sure to love.

Just add children and water for plenty of fun and once the mat is wet let it dry and you can start again.

The pens don't last forever but the rest seams quite durable.

The mat is quite large (but not HUGE) and requires a fair amount of floor space. It has a border around the outside of it. The border is really girlie and Cinderella themed. It has beads, ribbons, hearts, glass slippers, horses, cotton reels and balls of wool on it. The mat itself (on which you draw on) is white with a slight light pink tint.

There are 2 writing accessories for the mat - one is a water pen and one is a water roller. They are both made from plastic and can be easily unscrewed to pour small amounts of water inside. Once they are both filled with water they are ready to use. Neither of them leak or spill which makes a nice change. The pen draws and writes whatever you desire, the roller is used to make a trail made from stars. The water also seems to last a while until it needs refilling.

A plastic toy of Cinderella and Prince Charming is also included. The toy requires 2 x AA batteries, which aren't included. Cinderella is wearing her beautiful trademark blue dress and Prince Charming is wearing red trousers and smart blue and yellow jacket - they are facing each other and holding one hand as if they are dancing together. The base of the toy has wheels.

Once the water pen hits the mat it turns bright fluorescent pink. It looks just like it would if you got a bright pink pen and went over it. The same applies to the roller which creates a trail of pink stars at it goes.

To use Cinderella and Prince Charming on the mat, just flick the button to 'on' and place it on the trail of stars which has been made. The toy automatically picks up the trail and follows it. Cinderella and Prince charming spin in circles along the trail and appear to be dancing. If they lose the trail (if the trail is broken or fading) then the toy turns itself around and follows the trail back the way it came. It just seems so clever, my daughter is amazed by it.

Once the toy has been turned on it plays a fairytale ballroom type of music which is really sweet, if not slightly repetative! If the toy gets puts on the mat without a trail to follow then it just glides around the mat in circular motions.

Sometimes my daughter doesn't fancy making trails for Cinderella to dance on and she is more than happy to cover her whole mat in pink drawings!

The great thing about Aquadraw is not only is it fun and unique but it is completley mess free. There is no need to clean the mat off as the drawings just dissapear within around 5 or 10 minutes when the water has dried up, which makes space for more drawing. Although the mat is quite big, it is really lightweight and can be folded up small which is really good for storing and travelling with. The whole thing is totally easy to wipe clean too.

I have however noticed that the roller is slightly awkward to use - it takes a few attempts to get the water to come out. I have also noticed that if there are water marks around the trail, then Cinderella and Prince Charming get confused and go in the wrong direction! For this reason I have deducted a star but still think it's a good quality toy and recommend.

Iam really happy with this product my wee girl spends ages playing with it , its really good fun.

The product is good, painting with no mess - great idea.
My daughter is three and loves both cinderella and painting. The product is great, I don't worry anymore about any mess she might make and when it dries out you can start all over again. Plus you can have the princess following the drawings, which gives it an extra bit of entertainment.

My little girl had wanted one of these for ages, and when she finally got one for Christmas, she wasn't disappointed. It quite amazed the adults as well, and she had a lot of one with it.

My nephew had an Aquadraw of some sort and my niece asked for one too (she has her very own Amazon wish list and she's only 4!). I can't really comment on the toy personally, as I haven't used it, but it does seem to be a long-lasting, well designed product and clearly it is a success with the children I know.

What I can comment on is the company I purchased it from: it arrived within 24 hours of ordering and was excellently packaged. This is superb service and I would definitely use them again.

My both daughters age (4 and 2) played with this very well. No mess and good learning for children. I teach them to write on this. They love to write and draw on it.

The Aquadraw Disney Cinderella is a really ingenious toy. It is amazing how the model follows the tracks on the mat. My granddaughter is two and a half and has no problems using the pens and roller and is fascinated by the musical Cinderella. The only problem is that she wants to hold Cinderella's hand while she is "dancing" ! An altogether good toy and no mess !

Purchased as a present for my Grand-daughter. She loved it for the first few weeks, then it showed signs of wear and eventually she lost interest.
