Perfect Mess-Free Fun for Little Ones!
By Shy D on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2025
I can’t say enough good things about the Melissa & Doug Water Wow books! These are a total lifesaver for car rides, restaurants, or quiet play at home. My toddlers absolutely love watching the colors appear like magic when they “paints” with the water pen. I love that they’re completely mess-free—no worrying about spills, markers on the walls, or stained clothes. The pages dry quickly, so they can reuse them over and over again. The pen is easy for little hands to hold, and everything is compact enough to toss in my bag for on-the-go entertainment. We’ve purchased several different versions (animals, vehicles, dinosaurs), and they enjoy them all. Great value, educational, and fun—highly recommend for toddlers and preschoolers!

Water wows are a favorite in our household. My son loves coloring in these at church and on road trips as well as just at home. They usually last for a couple months before we need to replace them. If your kid is more gentle they might last longer.
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!
Great cheap gift for kids

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!

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!
Grandkids love these!

I bought this and another one for my grandkids, 4 & 2 years old. They love them! Only gave this 4 stars though I’d prefer to give it a 3.5 as they’ve only played with these 3 times so far and the board pages are already warping. I expect this as you’re applying water to a paper product, but I thought it would last a little longer before it started happening! I make sure to separate the pages for them to dry well between their coloring time. I would recommend these but I don’t expect them to last long
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.
