We picked up these two Aquadraw mats in the thrift shop for £0.50 ,
& while I did expect them to entertain the little ones a bit I never would have expected how much of a success they really are.
Emily absolutely LOVES using water and see it change the colour , and I must admit that I find it a lot of fun, too!
We’ve been using paintbrushes instead of the pens that you get with the mats, which means the mats get wet pretty quickly, but as they dry quite fast it’s not really a problem.
Now I just need to find a travel version of these & we are all set for our trip to Germany in September!
We will be a little quiet this week as we have a lot of doctor’s appointments and birthdays coming up,
but I might check in with a picture or two.
I hope you all have a good weekend!

hi, they do do the mini mats xx ares were given as a gift so not sure where they got them xx
Oh my gosh! how much fun are those?! Any idea what they are called, or where I might be able to find some in the states?
I’ve never seen those before – how cool! And you don’t have to worry about paint getting on the carpet, as it’s only water!
what a score!! my kids would love those too. have a good week with the doctors and such. love you and that baby!!!
They are available on amazon in America:

I found a travel mat at sainsbury’s last summer. Maybe they’ll have them out for the travelling season again this year. I hope so!
