This product comes with one refillable water pen, and a reversible drawing mat (orange on one side and green on the other). The mat then sits on a faux wooden foam desk, which you assemble yourself.
I think the mat on its own is great. It is suitable for18 months plus, so both Dolly and Betty have enjoyed playing with it. You can draw pictures with the water pen, and once you have drawn on one side you can flip it over and draw on the other side, whilst you are waiting for the first picture to dry and start over again. It creates no mess, because it is just water, so you can let your child lose on it pretty much anywhere. I think that it will be ideal for long car journeys or whilst staying at other peoples houses, eliminating the risk of your child drawing on their walls with felt tips.
However, although I like the mat, I really do not like the desk that comes with it. I think that it is a total waste of time, space and money. I just do not see the point in it, when you can just place the mat on your lap or at a proper table or on the floor. I think the desk also looks cheap.
If you could just buy the mat without the desk, I think it would be a much more appealing product, and also it would slash the price of £29.99 quite considerably.
