Melissa & Doug inspires creativity with activity books that encourage imagination, and that trend continues with the release of three brand-new mess-free Water WOW! toys!
Water WOW! is our collection of no-mess painting sets for kids. These exciting paint-with-water coloring books and activity sets include reusable pages and a chunky, easy-to-grip refillable water pen. Kids fill the pen with water, and use it to color in each scene—details and vibrant colors appear with every stroke! Once the pages dry, kids can color them again and again. The water pen stores neatly in the front cover of each coloring book, making Water WOW! toys ideal for travel or on-the-go fun.
Playing with Water WOW! toys helps kids develop a host of critical early developmental skills, including hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, C-grip strength, creative expression, and social-emotional. So when kids express themselves creatively through play with Water WOW! toys, they’re also honing skills that will help them in school and beyond.
Melissa & Doug is proud to turn its Toy Spotlight blog onto three brand-new Water WOW! toys hitting shelves in early 2025.
