Fun and educational. The carpet is thin, but the water does not pass through. The pencil is provided. There are lots of little role models, shapes, colors all around. I find it quite entertaining for babies as with older children who are amused when they come home. By cons: pencil drawings dry very quickly and if they are made by hands, it quickly becomes coarse (carpet soaks and it is like nothing). Suddenly, the traces of hands or feet are not very readable ... it is mainly to draw or write. But the advantage that it dries quickly, we can continue to make continuous drawings. So it's a blessing in disguise! For the price, this carpet is not bad at all.
