I bought this for my 16 month old daughter to take on holiday with us and it was ideal, we just filled the little pen with water and she was very impressed. An ideal purchase if you want a drawing set with no mess that you can take anywhere.

I do agree with the other review that you can see the picture faintly before you start drawing with the water pen but my little girl didnt care, maybe because she is quite young but my friends daughter is older and she loves it!

Overall great product, I am going to buy more for my daughters friends as xmas gifts.

I bought this for reasons probably many of you would - my daughter loves Night Garden, however, I was very disappointed with it. You can see the pictures too clearly before you've even used the water pen thingy, and when you do, because you can see the picture already, there's no surprise, its just clearer. Shame. And my daughter wasn't that interested to top it off!

I had hoped on buying this for my 21 month old daughter, that she would have something that she could both use with us, plus something she maybe could do on her own while we are busy with something (without her deciding to redecorate!).

As has been mentioned the image is visible before wetting (although at their age I'm not sure this is important really), and you don't really get the feeling that the child is benefiting a great deal, apart from spending time with you as a parent.

The pictures themselves seem quite flimsy and thin, I had expected something of a little more sturdy considering the target market, but it is barely the thickness of A4 80g paper and seems fragile. Having said that it still survives intact after a few weeks.

After use I found they dry out quickly, which can actually make it a challenge to get your child to reveal the whole picture before areas start to fade again.

I'm disappointed, but I think it was worth trying - I think my daughter is happier with her Iggle piggle teddy and scribbling crayons on a large sheet of paper instead though!

A great toy and a wonderful idea, just didnt work for my 2year old who has aleady had some experience with colour pens and pencils.She was expecting more (it seemed to her as if the water pen didnt work because it didnt give any colour she was looking for) and was getting bored quickly with it.

I bought this mini mat set for my 18 month old son who just loves making the characters appear and watching them disappear. It is great value for money and ideal for taking with you to entertain little ones in the car or visiting. Best of all its mess free!!!!!

very clever idea no mess and my daughter loves revealing the colours i'm not entirely sure how long it will last for tho!

was loved by my 2 yr old Grandaughter, as she can scribble away and a picture appears for her. being only 2 she cant quite draw herself, obviously. Also liked by the 5 yr old too

My daughter was not terribly impressed with this product, and neither was I. To be honest, the colours that appear "drawing" are not much more visible than the uncoloured picture itself.

Not really appropriate for my 18 month old, but overall good. Quite overpriced for all that it is. He will like it when he's older.

Small enough to carry around and use again and again lasted for ever only she no longer likes the show.
