  • Great Water Play Craft — Cute Animals & No Mess Coloring
Color: Animals
The media could not be loaded. We got the Animal Friends Color & Grow kit for my toddler and it’s been a really fun activity for quiet time. The set comes with adorable animal scenes that “grow” color when you add water — no markers, no paint trays, and very little mess. My child loves seeing the pictures magically fill in, and it keeps them engaged for quite a while. The paper is sturdy and didn’t tear easily, even with enthusiastic use. Drying time is quick, and the colors stay bright after they’re dry. It’s helped my toddler practice hand-eye coordination and patience. Just one thing — it’s easiest when we do it at the table because it needs a flat surface and a light hand with the water brush. Still, overall this has been a very positive craft for our 3-year-old. Would recommend for parents who want a low-mess, creative craft that doesn’t require paints or an iron. ... show more

  • Good quick project for school aged kids
Color: Animals
I thought this was a fun little project to do with my 6 year old neighbor. She enjoyed coloring and making the animals puff up with the water. I don't think the second time will be as entertaining. One of the markers (red) was completely dry and didn't work. The other colors were vibrant. No running of colors at all which means you should be careful using them because they are VERY waterproof. Don't use with a little one that will color other places. Key chain was easy to attach which was a bonus. My one complaint is the finished product definitely lacks the sharpness shown in the product photos. The sponge cells break it up a bit. Still fun and worth the cost. ... show more

  • Creative and different. Love this kit.👍
Color: Princesses & Unicorns
I gifted these and they were a big hit. Such a simple idea but something to keep little hands busy while being creative and building artistic skills and appreciation. I love kits like this. I think art kits are so much better than toys because the littles get to use their creative juices and enjoy their creations for a bit, and then, they can find their way into art heaven. Kids just have too many toys that they never play with. Big thumbs up from me.👍 ... show more

  • Cool for Young Kids
Color: Animals
Cool product! Fun for younger kids. It wasn’t messy at all and was very easy to do. Kids loved the water part! I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 just because it’s literally a sponge that you color on and it doesn’t seem like it would last as a key chain. I don’t know why, but I was expecting it to be something fancier for $20 haha. Overall a fun product for kids. Hope this review is helpful! ... show more

  • Give Aqua Puffs a Go!
Color: Princesses & Unicorns
This was a very fun craft that kept my 5 year old daughter entertained for longer than most crafts. It’s not messy, the colors included in the box were perfect, and the key rings are the perfect size to decorate a bag or bookbag. The only thing I didn’t like is that it looks like you could keep parts of it flat, but that’s not the case. The entire piece will puff up like a sponge. But it was fun and the pieces are very cute. Definitely would recommend. ... show more

  • Simple, clean, and fun craft!
Color: Princesses & Unicorns
What a pretty nifty idea for kids! We can take it anywhere and it's easy to do. My 6 yr old asked my 16yr old to do it with her and they both enjoyed it. It was a perfect Easter basket gift!

  • Simple but fun
Color: Princesses & Unicorns
I gifted this to a 5yo for her birthday. She loved it. The puffs are easy to color with zero mess. Her 3yo brother helped her color some of them and had a blast. If you’re looking for an easy craft that’ll keep kids busy for 30min, this is it.
