Spinmaster Aquadoodle Wall Mat

Got this last Christmas and came back to buy more for family and friends. It's not 100% toddler proof, but we've got 5 kids 11-2 and they use it a lot at first 3-4 times a day (it's big enough for 2 to use together--bonus!) and now it's used at least weekly (almost a year later). We love the neetness of it and it has kept my youngest artists from drawing on the walls. Yea!! It works well with any type of sponge stamps, so the ones you can buy that are aquadoodle brand are nice but not necessary for optimal fun. It's really thin, it reminds me of the weather barrier they put on homes before siding, but ours hasn't ripped yet. We've moved it to different walls 4 times and it's showing some wear now. But for the price ($10) it's been fabulous!

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and I love this for my students. Helps facilitate a good wrist position, which in turn helps facilitate a good grasp. I use this with little pieces of q tips and cotton balls too.

I bought this for my Grandchildren and they seem to like it.
I wish that the pencil tool had a lid, it seems to dry out fairly quickly and it only comes with one.

All in all, I think it was a good value.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this mat is very thin. And by very I mean VERY. I ended up buying some foamboard and adhesive spray and then taping the edges down so that there was a more solid surface behind it. Our wall has texture and there would be no way this mat would last a week otherwise. I only paid $2.00 for it though so I guess I can't complain.

It might not look like much, but my child drew for hours and hours every day for 3 months. That's about as long as any good toy keeps interest. I would recommend buying an extra pen or two, though. If you have a playmate or if you lose the one pen, then you're in trouble.
