| | |  |  Dora the Explorer | Home » » » Spinmaster Aquadoodle Dora And Diego Adventure Mat | | | | | | | Description: | | The Aquadoodle isn't a pool or tub toy, but without water it's just no fun. While it's a simple drawing mat, kids will be wowed when their recent works of art disappear, leaving them a clean canvas to color all over again. Plus, young Dora and Diego fans will love drawing a jungle trail across the mat for the duo's Jeep to follow along. Simply fill the pen with tap water, turn on the 4x4 vehicle, place it on the mat, start drawing a line, and then watch as the Jeep magically travels along it! Once your line dries or stops, the car does, too. To make their adventure more exciting, there are even plastic characters and scenery pieces to place around the mat.
The 81-by-53-inch drawing mat is large enough for several kids to doodle on at a time, but you'll need to buy more "magic" markers (sold separately). Because the "ink" is only water, this is one activity that is truly mess free. If an artist should somehow draw off the mat, there will be no trace of it. Drawings fade from the mat in 30 to 60 seconds, making sure that little hands always have a blank spot for their next masterpiece. You don't even have to wash the mat between coloring sessions!
This set comes with one Aquadoodle mat, one water pen, one motorized vehicle, and six plastic pieces with stands. Two AA batteries are required for the vehicle, but not included. | | | Features: | |

 Very cool...Jan 20, 2008
By italian jane doe

Wow, what a cool toy. My 3 1/2 year-old loved it - and even I was amazed to find that the car actually does follow any line or swirly maze you create on the mat. My only complaint is that the car tends to turn off fairly quickly. We like to take our time drawing up a cool path for Diego and Dora to follow, so we're always having to turn the jeep over to switch it back on again.
Other than that minor issue, it's a very cool and creative toy.

 Tons of funJan 12, 2008

This has been a lot of fun for my daughters. They love it and it's easy for them to play with. Not much else to say, it's easy to set up and will last forever.

 somewhat disappointedDec 29, 2008

My daughter is a Dora fan and I thought this would be a great Christmas gift. She likes using it, but becomes frustrated because the car doesn't seem to follow the lines very well and/or turns off too quickly. I think the mat is great; the added feature of the car was something that isn't living up to expectations.
Great idea, but still not much funDec 30, 2009

I got this hoping my 20 month old daughter, who LOVES to scribble and draw, would stay away from the crayons and pens and find this just as fun...and less messy, as she tries to color all over everything when she's given paper and a pen/crayon. It works great, color disappears after a good amount of time. The stand up stencils of the house, bush, tree, Swipper, Boots and baby Jaguar are all plastic (better then I was expecting). The pad is a nice big size. The car is heavy and bigger then I expected it to be...but I'm afraid to let my 20 month old pick it up. She trys "wheeling" it around like a normal car and it worries me that she'll break the sensor underneath it. The car DOES follow the water paths very well though. I'm impressed with how it works. When it doesn't have a trail to follow it wonders around for a while before turning itself off- trying to find it.
The problems I've encountered within a few weeks of using it have been these:
1. My DD has gotten it pretty dirty. There's dirt smudges on it and it's not very easy to clean...directions say to take a sponge to it softly but that doesn't get off the dirt very much. Too much water will probably ruin it.
2. It's very large, and when you fold it to put it away it leaves dents in the pad when you unfold it- which knocks the car off track and makes it harder to color nicely.
3. My DD threw up on it a little bit...referring to problem 1, it's not easy to clean...and now it's splattered with blue marks. Probably from the oil in the bit of throw up she had. I tried to sponge it off, but I think some oil was left behind. I'll be trying to sponge those areas again soon to see if I can get the oil loose, but I'm terrified of ruining it more...especially with how expensive this pad was.
4. My DD would still prefer a pen and paper. When I pull this out for her she just messes around, scribbles a little bit, and gets kinda bored unless I'm coloring for her... with a paper and pen she'll scribble, and scribble..and scribble. I was hoping Dora being on it would make her love scribbling on this thing, but it's just not her favorite. The pen is quite large, made to hold the water in the base, and she just doesn't like it. Instead she tries to drink the water through the tip.
Great giftDec 26, 2009

This was a Christmas gift for our grand-daughter. She loves both Dora and Aquadoodle and having them both combined in this gift was a big hit. Thanks.
