Been a hectic few months getting everything ready for Christmas and out of all the technical and wonderful presents the children got the main one being played is a water based doodle mat. It is a lot of fun though and I have got them on it with drying the canvas quickly with the hair dryer. It is a great gift though as even we get involved with it although it hasn't overtaken the Etch-a-Sketch type toy which took on added precidents with these two scary looking twin dolls bought for baby over Christmas. They are like something from The Shining and I can't see how any child would want them leering at them. Even my daughter said she was afraid of them after hearing us messing about and leaving written notes on the Etch-a-Sketch with them. Be aware people these dolls are out there!!!
