no mess art Posted 29 December 2006
both my 5 year old and my 15 month old like this toy. picture after picture is drawn. a stimulating and educational toy. the train music is fab. only negative comment is that the train will follow any mark on the mat, any crease or indentation. overall this is a toy that will keep kids entertained for ages.
Aquadraw Posted 25 October 2006
An excellent product - my two year old loves it, and even our eight month old son is fascinated by Thomas chugging round the track. I think in order to make full use of the set children would need to be a little older (3+ to use it unsupervised) as drawing a good track for Thomas to run on is not easy for little ones.
No ink, no paint, no mess to clear up - an excellent idea, and made even better by having Thomas and his cheery tune playing.
Thomas is Always a Winner Posted 26 November 2005
Getting crayons and felt tip pen off furniture and walls is an absolute nightmare, but one you do not need to worry about with this toy. The pen and the roller that creates the tracks will in effect only draw on the play mat.A second bonus is that everything can be folded up and put away very quickly. That's the grown ups sorted, so lets get on to the children. I do not know of any child who at some stage in their lives is not in love with Thomas the Tank Engine and this is an ideal toy for them. The roller provided draws train track on the play mat and to young children (and adults) this must seem almost magical. What is even better is that Thomas follows the tracks that have been drawn, even more magical. If it loses its way the train tries to find the tracks again and if it can't eventually switches itself off. How good is that? There is also a 'pen' that is filled with water and allows freehand drawing on the mat and only on the mat. The train makes the noise a real train makes and plays a little of the Thomas tune. Best of all the track eventually fades giving the children the opportunity to draw another track layout. No small pieces to get lost, no paper to pick up and throw away. No pencils to sharpen, or new felt tips to buy and most importantly Happy Children. What more could you want!!
Musical Thomas Aquadraw Posted 02 August 2005
As the mum of three under 5s who love the original aquadraw and the aquadraw mini mats we just had to buy this. The plus points are it's a large mat, even slightly larger than the standard aquadraw mat so all the children can fit round. The track making roller accessory is good and makes fun tracks. The train does actually make a good job of following the tracks and makes train noises plus plays a bit of the Thomas theme tune. The train also 'searches' for the tracks if it gets lost and turns itself off if it can't find anything to follow. The bad points are as usual tomy are stingy with the number of accessories they include. One pen and one roller on this size of mat seems especially inadequate. A call to the Tomy careline will get you an extra couple of pens for a small cost. This is essential if you have more than one child or if you want to join in the activity! The mat also needs to be absolutely flat for the train to run. With more than one child using this large mat it inevitably crinkles/folds up. In practice my children have been making spaghetti junction track layouts. The train is confused but trundles around cheerfully regardless. The tinny sounding thomas theme tune music is annoying but the train sound effects are fine. I wish there was a mute option! The children and especially my Thomas mad three year old love it.
