Roadtrip Travel Toy: Water WOW

by Kerri Aldrich on June 18th, 2007

One of my favorite finds this spring was the Water Wow! line of “coloring books” from Giddy Up. Including Backyardigans, Hello Kitty, Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street themed Water Wow! Doodle Books, these little books provide a clean, stain-free experience for your kids.

I didn’t actually purchase them for the car, but rather for my in-laws’ house. They recently moved back to our area, and I wanted to bring something to their new house that the kids could play with, but that wouldn’t risk ruining anything that didn’t belong to us. The Water WOW sets come with a sturdy tablet of about 4 pictures that can be “colored” with the water pen. It’s not a long-term source of entertainment, but it is nice because the colors disappear when the tablet pages dry out. So, it’s nice to have at my in-laws’ house because it’s a novel toy that we don’t have at home, and it’s ready to reuse each time we show up.

They remind me of those “watercolor books” from when we were little. Do you remember those? The pages of the books were white, but you could see little dots of color in groups over the pages. You could get a wet paint brush or a Q-tip and “paint” the pages of the book. I went looking for those a couple of years ago and couldn’t find any. Anyone else remember those?
