The Aquadoodle Art Mat

by Kimberly Alexander on May 17, 2010

The young mind is inquisitive and creative, building entire worlds with their unique perspective and imagination and the Aquadoodle art mat is one of the best ways to tap into that inexhaustible creative energy. There are many different Aqauadoodle mat configurations to choose from, depending on the child’s personal preferences, whether they prefer a certain character like Elmo or Thomas the Train or something from the Disney world of imagination.

Kids from all walks of life live to draw and create images that they can admire, and then they like to start over on something new and even better than before. How many times have you sat and watched your child create or draw something on paper, only to turn the page and start something new. Many times they draw the same thing over and over and over and every time it seems like exactly the same thing. Yet when you look closer, you see the minor variations, the indications of improvement, alteration, or adjustment of their mind’s eye.

The Aquadoodle floor mat is the perfect combination of creative ability with the opportunity to start fresh without having to worry too much about erasing, since it does it for them. The unique Aquadoodle pens and patented technology are revolutionary and kids absolutely love the magic that the Aquadoodle pen creates right there in the palm of their hand.

To a young mind, the way the pens and the amazing water-based technology works, with the colors that they portray on the mat and how the lines disappear on their own will lead to hours upon hours of excitement and energy within your child from the first moment they place that unique pen to the incredible mat. Once the wonder fades, the joy continues on for years to come.

Many Different Aquadoodle Products to Choose From

Perhaps the best aspect about these uniquely artistic mats is that there is a tremendous variety of styles and characters to choose from to connect with your kid. Probably the most popular among young children is the Thomas Aquadoodle. These Aquadoodle draw and doodle mat with the Thomas and friends characters are simply adorable. When a child’s favorite characters from cartoons or other programs, such as Disney, are portrayed on their favorite toys, then the magical connection is apparent almost from the start.

Making an Aquadoodle drawing with their favorite fictional friend can be inspiring and wondrous for any young child. It’s not always a matter of being able to draw that makes something like this so precious, but the connection and joy that it brings to the child as they become lost in their own little world for hours on end, believing that Thomas or his friends are welcoming them into their private world.

The imagination of a child will help to unlock a mountain of potential later in life if it’s allowed and encouraged to develop. The Aquadoodle draw-n-doodle mat is a great way to help your child reach their potential and forge a bond with creativity that can last a lifetime.

Okay, so you’ve planned the most incredible birthday party for your little princess, and it’s going to be a day that she will remember and cherish for the rest of her life. Her friends are going to be the toast of all the girls at school because they will be at this incredible celebration of life, but you know that it’s not yet complete. You want to know what the best Disney Princess birthday games are for your daughter’s party.

Disney Princess birthday games are a fantastic way for your daughter and her friends to spend her afternoon and enjoy laughing and getting lost in the magical world that Disney created. There are so many different Disney Princesses that it can be difficult to choose just one, so why limit yourself? Whether your daughter has a preference for Ariel or Cinderella, Pocahontas or Snow White, there are numerous Disney Princess birthday games that you can choose from.

There’s also no limit to your own imagination, which means that if you’re familiar with the movies that these characters are from, then you can use some creativity and come up with your own ideas as well. But for now, let’s discuss just a few Disney Princess birthday games that your daughter will almost certainly enjoy playing with her friends on that special day.

One is called, Crown the Princess. This one is a favorite among little princesses on their birthday because each of their friends, and themselves, can become a princess. It’s similar to musical chairs, but with one major difference. Instead of taking away a chair and having the girls sit out when they don’t have one when the music stops, have enough chairs for all girls and one will be decorated like a thrown. Play Disney music while the girls walk around the circle of chairs and when the music stops, they sit in the chair next to them. Whoever is sitting in the throne is the princess for that round and receives a prize.

Some parents will play this over and over again, with some of the girls winning multiple times. Of course, you can also vary the game to sit the winner out and remove one chair to ensure that by the end, every girl has a chance to be princess.

Other Disney Princess birthday games that you can play with your daughter include Kiss the Frog. This is a variation on Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Instead of a donkey on the wall, you place a picture of a frog. Make sure the frog is large enough, though. Then, give each girl large, animated cut-out lips made of paper or cloth with something sticky on the back, like tape. Blindfolded, they have to try and ‘kiss the frog’ with those lips.

There are many different kinds of Disney Princess birthday games that you can play with your daughter on her special day. The important point is to be creative, or simply buy one of the many games that are available with the Disney Princess theme.
