What four images are depicted in this book? (I want to make sure they align with our religious beliefs.)
How long do these last? I know that aqua doodle eventually stops fading...these are made of cardboard?
Is the pen suppose to be like a paint brush? I recieved it and the bristles are spread apart like a brush not a pen.
Can this work with out the pen? We would like to send it to our sponsored child, they only allow certain materials so the pen could not be sent.

Our favorites!
We love these- always take with us in the car, to restaurants, etc. No mess, easy and quick drying to reuse the pages quickly, and such an affordable item that they'll play with for a long time!

Awesome water activated coloring book- Smart design and great for small toddlers who want to "paint"
Loved this book! Purchased for my almost 2 & 4 year old as we were headed to Mexico and I was searching for plane safe entertainment with "no mess" for mommy :) This is the coolest toy! It is a great travel size flip book (note that the top cardboard "hanging hole" area pictured is fixed to the book itself so you can either cut it off with scissors or leave it. There are white pages inside each book (thick cardboard so great against toddler's hands). With the included water brush pen (twists apart into two pieces where you fill one end with water and re-twist to close), the kids will paint the page with the water brush pen and magically see colors appear on the page. The water "washes away" the white film to reveal the pre-set colored picture underneath. What is so cool is that after about 5 minutes, the water dries and the color fades back into the clean white coloring page. My girls would paint one page, then flip to the next, then go back to see the first was already dried and ready to paint again. The only negative piece was with the water brush/pen- you should drain all the water when not in use otherwise it can leak onto the pages. Since its mostly a cardboard material book, if it leaks, like mind did, it can cause water damage/crinkling. Also the pen has a little plastic storage lid built into the cover. My 2 year old immediately ripped off the lid that holds the pen inside :( So I have to keep re-taping the lid back onto the cover to keep the pen inside the storage area. Otherwise, this is really an awesome product that will keep your kiddos entertained for a variety of situations- restaurants, car trips, plane rides, etc.

Great entertainment
My daughter like these books as well as I do. They are mess free while educational. Easy to clean up and put away for later use. We used it to keep her entertained while on the road or while at a restaurant. Value for money, fun for kids , ease of use.

Keeps my guy entertained all afternoon
Could there be a better travel product to entertain a late toddler? I have yet to discover one so universally loved and engaging as the Water Wow colouring books series. We own four of these things and my son just can't get enough of them. He squeals with excitement when we bring out the simple plastic reservoir pen and his book.The vehicles book is just as good as the rest. The concept is fundamentally simple: run the water-infused brush over the page for colours to appear. It's that simple. No fuss, no ink, no special activity required. Even the brush is simple by design, a twist-off plastic grip to fill with water and a white brush part. My little guy mashed ours flat within minutes with his heavy handed approach, but it still works more or less fine.Heavy cardboard pages stand up to little hands squishing and pressing from all angles to make the truck turn red or the sports car appear blue. Never fear! Even dumping all the water on this, as little ones figure out how to unscrew the brush, won't cause much of a mess. It really is just water.This product is simple genius, it really is. As a parent I appreciate how portable it is. We stand our book up on its side with the pages separated to speed up the drying process. The only drawback is the plastic pouch holding onto the pen. It's not very durable or easy to open on some packages, and more than once I've popped it out accidentally. That design could be better.Hint: Buy more than one of these if you have a long car trip or flight ahead because the pages take a bit to dry. Rotating between the same two can entertain a kid for up to an hour or more, and you can appreciate how powerful and delightful that is for child and parent.

Super fun and not messy
These are great for toddlers so no mess is made, however the pages scratch easily when wet which means the special coating to hide the color when dry comes off. Still amazing though!

Mess Free Fun
These are great especially for road-trips or going out to eat! Love that it’s mess free and reusable. After coloring a picture it dries and it’s like brand new. Worth the money I definitely recommend!

Perfect for the plane, car, or anytime!
These reusable water wow activity pads are the perfect seated activity for busy toddlers. They are durable, compact, and easy to throw in a purse or backpack. I love the thick pages and how quick the water erases - no sticky or torn pages. The water stays in the pen and doesn't drip from the brush or sides - as long as it's properly sealed. The plastic containers on the front is resealable so the pens can be stored in there when not in use. The colors are vibrant and the pictures are creative. Perfect for order learning. The price is very reasonable and they are easy to add to stocking, easter baskets, or birthday bags. I highly recommend these to everyone.

Toddler loves to paint with me!
They’re wonderful. He loves searching for the hidden objects. The colors are lovely. The only downside is storage of the water brush. Do not store it in the plastic holder on the book! It drips continuously and the book will get soggy. I store the brush bristles up in a small bowl between uses. Still worth five stars because the brush works so well.
