Aqua doodle for 1 year old??

Would you get/have you got a Aqua doodle for a 1 year old?

Im thinking she may be a little young yet?

Me again!

My daughter has one. I think she got it for her third birthday and she loved it. (She has since moved on...but it did keep her attention for a good year! haha).

It's sometimes a pain in the butt b/c you have to keep filling up the "pens" with water. It also comes out super blurry and easily runs. There are two different pens - one is finer and one is thicker.

I think it would actually be pretty fun for your daughter at this age. She'll get to experiment and she'll love how she can make different shapes/pictures/marks all by herself.

Side note - the mat takes a long time to dry...but that could be b/c my daughter pressed really hard on the pens!

It was a best buy for us, Omar started to use it at 14 months, it's safe as the pen is filled with water so they can put it in their mouth with no problems. He learned how to scribble using it. We had the basic with the chunky pen, then we got him the mini one for going out. He doesnt use it anymore as now he uses his crayons & easel.

I got my daughter one for xmas, she just learnt to make marks with a pencil and was nicely scribbling on my beige carpet so I think she will probably enjoy this toy!

Hi Kelly, my mum has brought this for A for christmas, so she will be 3 days shy of 1. Im not really sure how she will take to it, but I think if she watches me draw with it, she'll pick it up sooner.

When I was in Birmingham a few months ago I popped into The entertainer and spotted an aqua doodle reversible table on offer at a really good price - so I've bought one for Fran and she's almost a year old. I figure as long as I'm with her there will be no problem!

I got one for my nephew for Xmas and he's 19 months old, he loves to color so it will be perfect for him.

We had one (they broke the pens) and it was great! I loved that it was only water and not pen
