Melissa and Doug Surprize Ink Vehicles Drawing Pen, Multi Color

Quality is very bad

I bought this in preparation for a road trip with my little kid. He loves the Melissa and Doug Water Wow as well as the Crayola Color Wonder sheets/markers, so I thought this would be more convenient for a long car trip. I was wrong. The marker for this item is BLUE. On the paper it revealed some hidden images as a darker blue. On the rest of the paper, on his skin, on his clothes, and on anything else he decided to color, it colored BLUE. And it did not wash off easily. It stained the clothes and he still has blue marks on his skin 4 days later, following a few baths and showers.

My son isn't really into the character magic ink books you can find at Target, so I came looking for something different. The activities in this book are more complex and varied than in the character books, and my 6 year old son loved them, as did my 8 year old daughter. Will be looking for similar books in other themes for future trips!

I ordered this book for a 3 year olds birthday (he loves these books) and it came missing the front cover the pen and a load of pages. The book is completely destroyed. I ordered a replacement but it won’t arrive for another week! Which is too late as the birthday would have already passed, I am very disappointed.

My 2 year old loved it!! He colored all the pages nicely. It doesn't make a mess. Especially great for entertainment while traveling. I'll be buying more!

My son loves all these books. They are great to take out to eat or at a doctors appointment to keep your little busy.
