Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

This board offers two ways to play adding to the play value for moms and dads, but it's also got some great early motor skill development built in as well. We like how the gel side gives kids the feel of actually finger painting without the mess, and the crayons triangular shape makes it easier for kids to learn the proper grip.
