Children's water drawing mat Ravensburger Aqua Doodle 04568 Multicolour

The Ravensburger Aqua Doodle 04568 Multicolour is a water drawing mat designed for children aged one and above. The play surface reveals colourful patterns when wet and returns to a blank state as it dries, allowing repeated drawing without ink, paint or stains. The set includes a soft mat sized for floor play and a water-filled pen that produces visible marks on the fabric surface. This product supports early motor skill development and imaginative play while offering a low-maintenance, mess-free drawing experience at home or on the go.

Advantages

The water-based drawing system prevents spills and permanent stains, making the mat suitable for indoor use and easily cleaned by air drying. The multicolour design adds visual appeal and provides immediate feedback to the child when the pen is applied. The mat is reusable many times, reducing consumable costs compared with paper or paint; its lightweight construction makes it portable for travel or visits. Materials are selected for safe contact with young children and the simple design encourages independent play.

How to use

Fill the included pen with clean water according to the manufacturer’s instructions and securely close the cap. Lay the mat flat on a dry surface and use the water pen to draw on the play area; markings become visible where water contacts the fabric. Allow drawn lines and shapes to dry naturally; the play surface will return to its original appearance when dry, ready for new drawings. Empty and dry the pen before storing and roll the mat to save space. Do not immerse the mat in water.

Usage recommendations

The product is intended for supervised play with young children. Use clean water only in the pen, avoid sharp objects on the mat surface, and allow the mat to dry completely between uses. Store the set in a cool, dry place to preserve the water-activated surface.
