Okay - but the pens leak!

This is a great toy - the kids get so excited discovering what they can uncover next with the pens - but those pens! They leak like crazy, and when you set them down for a minute - the water is on the pages and then you have to wait for them to dry!

it works for us!!!

I was looking for toys to entertain my 2 1/2 yr old son for a plane ride we were taking when I found this at Target. I wouldn't consider it the most intellectually stimulating toy ever, but he was entertained for almost 2 hours!! It was great the way it dried within a few minutes so we could use it over and over again. When he got bored of one page, we had two more pages to discover. No markers to dry up, no mess everywhere.

Great idea, Needs improvement

I bought this toy for my son, who loves Thomas. The idea is great, but in no way is this as durable as the original aquamat(which I thought it would be). The white coating to hide the picture until it gets wet, scratches off super easy, and they take what seems like forver to dry. Maybe once they improve it, we'll try it again!!
