We have the Aqua Doddle XXL Color now for about 3 weeks and I have to say since the cleaning after painting actions my 2 year old daughter has significantly reduced they can paint with water pencils standing what she likes good and the whole still in colorful and if they continue to paint next to the Malmatte on the wall makes it even nix is only water in the pens. Great fun for the whole family. We recommend. ;-))
