Time sure does fly! My son Carter is now 18 months old! I can't believe it, I am so blessed and honored to be his momma...more on that in another post...
Time for a new topic here on the blog, TODDLER TOY LOVE! At least until Carter ceases to be a toddler, I am going to feature some of his favorite toys and goodies, I know now know how tough it is to find stuff your toddler likes and will actually keep them busy for more than 30 seconds!
For this first installment, I wanted to feature the Aqua Doodle-Travel Doodle!
We recently received this item as a gift in a Valentine's Day gift exchange. Carter LOVES to color with crayons, but as with any young child, he doesn't necessarily stay on the paper all the time! I was constantly breaking out the Magic Erasers to clean up his stray crayon marks on tables, walls, the dog, everywhere...!
Why Aqua Doodle?! Well, we obviously got it for free so why not try it, right?! I had though about ordering a Color Wonder set from Crayola (paper and special markers that only write on their own paper). Color Wonder requires paper refills and when the markers die you need to purchase new ones.
Aqua Doodle (which also comes on a large size mat and with many of your child's favorite characters) refills it's marker with regular-old tap water and your kids draw on the included mat. I particularly like this travel one because it isn't any larger than a standard notebook and is easy to clean, fits in smaller bags or storage in the car. We intend to take it on a plane trip to Florida in May, but in the meantime it is great around the house too. Carter loves that it has handles, he can fold it up, velcro it closed and carry it around the house!

What is your favorite Toddler toy or activity? I would love to find some new products to try!
