Product Review

Olivia's art stuff box was looking pretty pathetic and uninspiring with her little crayon bucket and watercolors that looked like various shades of brownish-something. It was definately time to add markers and paint :) to the mix! I also picked up these TaDoodles for AJ thinking it would be better than explaining to the nursery workers exactly why my son's mouth is green and blue.

These markers are very cute, but they are a pain. First of all, they are bottom heavy, so they are always upright. That might seem great in light of less mess for the floor or table, but when your child (AJ's age) grabs it, he grabs it from the top. You always have to place the marker in his hand just so. Then when he is holding it right side down, it needs to be at just the right angle to write. He scribbled with it for a few seconds and went for sister's blue and green markers. Olivia had fun with the cute little animal markers, but since it is marketed to the 18m+ crowd I thought it should work a little better for AJ.

Conclusion: You'd be better off buying yourself a White Chocolate Mocha Latte :)
