It's a nice quiet moment to catch your breath, then you notice it, the purple streak of pen on your table leg. You start to clean it up only to find faint pencil lines scattered across the table top.Mess with children is inevitable but Aquadraw can take some of it away.

Tomy produce Aquadraw sets in a range of different designs and with different additions to them. The basic premise for all the sets is the same - Aquadraw is a way for children to draw with water without making a mess. What you get: This particular set is the Rainbow set and it costs about £25, and was bought for a second birthday.

You can see from the photo that the images are designed to appeal visually to children and really do draw the eye. There are also two pens, and 3 stampers which fit on to the end of ...  Read the complete review

Tomy Rainbow Aquadraw..... This was one present Jack received for his first birthday and it is used by him most days. Although the age range is from 18 months (and he is not quite that old yet) he gets on with using it very well.

The Aquadraw comes with 2 water refill pens that are very chunky meaning they are easy to hold, three ...  Read the complete review

My husband bought the Tomy Rainbow Aquadraw for our daughter's first birthday, just before last Christmas. It cost around £25.00 from Woolworths, and is also available from other retailers, such as Argos. It is suitable for children from eighteen months and upwards. We didn't use it that much at first, as our daughter was a bit too young for it, but when she got to around fourteen months, she started to be able to grasp the pens and also crayons.

We also have a set of chunky crayons, which she likes, but tends to take bites out of, as well as drawing on the furniture. I don't mind mess, ...  Read the complete review

Our eldest daughter was given the Rainbow Aquadraw as a gift for her 2nd birthday - she's now 3 and it's still going strong! It really is a fantastic toy - kids love the rainbow colours that magically appear and parents love the fact there's no mess! The Aquadaw mat is basically made of two pieces of fabric joined together. The one on top is the part you can see - mostly white with patterns around the edge. The underneath part is coloured. When the white on the top part of the mat becomes wet, the colours from the fabric underneath show through. So children can get the same effect as painting/drawing but by only using water! Then to start again you just ...  Read the complete review
