Built to last

Buy it once. Not every few weeks.

Most water colouring books are thin paper pads that curl, crease and tear after a few wet sessions, so you end up buying another, and another. Puddle Painters books are made from thick, sturdy board that's built for little hands and lots of water.

📄 Cheap paper pads

  • ✕Thin pages that curl and wrinkle when wet
  • ✕Tear easily in small hands
  • ✕Pictures show through before you paint
  • ✕Need replacing again and again

💧 Puddle Painters board books

  • ✓Thick board pages that stay flat
  • ✓Tough enough for toddlers
  • ✓Bright colour reveals, page after page
  • ✓Lasts far longer, so you spend less over time

💷 A cheap pad looks like a bargain until you're buying your third one. One sturdy book that keeps going works out cheaper in the long run.

Sound familiar?

Not the tablet. Not the felt tips. Something in between.

Tea's on the hob and someone small needs something to do right now. The tablet feels like giving in. The felt tips mean scrubbing the table, the sofa and probably the dog.

A water colouring book is the easy middle ground: proper hands-on play that keeps them busy, with nothing that can stain anything.

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

What do I get?
One water colouring book with sturdy board pages in the theme you choose, plus one refillable water pen. Collecting all four? Buy 3, get 1 free.
Will the pages bend or tear?
The pages are thick board rather than paper, so they stand up to little hands much better than thin water pads.
Why not just buy a cheaper one?
Cheap water pads use thin paper that curls and tears after a few goes, so they need replacing often. Ours have thick board pages made to be painted again and again, which saves you buying replacements.
What age is it for?
It's designed for toddlers and young children, roughly 2 to 5. Always supervise little ones, as the pen cap is a small part.
How long does a page take to dry?
Usually a few minutes, depending on how wet the page gets and how warm the room is.
Does it really need only water?
Yes. No paint, ink or refills. Just plain tap water in the pen.
Will the pen leak?
Screw the cap on tightly and keep it upright in your bag. For travel, it's easiest to carry it empty and fill it when you arrive.
Is it safe?
The book contains no paints or ink and the pages have smooth, rounded edges. The only thing your child touches is water.
When will it arrive?
Free tracked delivery, arriving in 5 – 10 days.
What if we don't like it?
Get in touch within 30 days and we'll sort out a refund. See our returns policy for details.
