Magic Canvas Makes Drawing A Colorful Surprise, Every Time!

I received a Magic Canvas at no cost to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Encouraging children to learn and be creative is very important. Their brain is developing at lightning pace and by giving our children products that help to foster this amazing growth, it’s always a plus! That’s why, when I found out about Magic Canvas, I had to give it a try with my daughter!

Magic Canvas is a dual-sided board that comes with 1 stylus that you fill with water. Once filled, your child can draw with it to unveil a rainbow spectrum of colors! As these colors magically appear at the surface, your child’s drawing will take on new creative heights!

The canvas size is quite large at 13 x 1.5 x 10.8 inches, but it’s still small enough to transport and even take in the car! Plus, with its weight at only 11.2 ounces, and it’s trusty handle, your child won’t have any trouble holding onto it or carrying it around. Perfect for on-the-go fun!

Once your child has created a masterpiece of their very own, they can either wait for the water to dry on that side, or they can just flip the canvas over and start their next drawing! Definitely a genius idea, as more kids than not, are impatient and don’t like to wait. I definitely appreciate that it’s re-usable and you don’t need to buy any replacement papers, inserts, or other accessories. Plus, it's extremely responsibly priced at only $16.95! Awesome!

My daughter has had a blast playing with her Magic Canvas for the past few weeks. I wanted to give it a really good test, because my daughter is still very young and she can be rough with things, and I wanted to see how it would hold up to her play.

Right away she was amazed at all the colors that showed up when she drew. Suddenly, her puppies and rainbows looked even more amazing! The smiles and the joy on her face told me that this toy was just what she wanted to help bring her imagination to life.

Not only does my little sweetie like to draw on her canvas, but she likes to completely fill in the board! She colors every square inch with the water stylus and loves seeing the beautiful rainbow pattern that magically appears. She’s always very proud of herself when she completes it and loves to show it off to me. So sweet!

My daughter is still a little rough with toys, as she’s only 3 years old, and I only have one comment that is less than a super shiny note about this toy. It’s that when she first discovered that underneath the white layer, there were a bunch of other colors, she tried scratching at the surface to uncover them. By doing this, it did scratch the coating on the canvas. As my daughter continued to play (even later that same day), she stopped doing this thanks to my prodding. However, the damage was already done. I was thankful to see though, that it didn’t hinder my daughter’s creative designs. All her pictures still look beautiful and she adores playing with it!

Overall, this product is definitely recommend-worthy! It’s a great travel accessory for the car, playtime at home, and even to bring over to the grandparents for some creative fun! It’s age appropriate for those 12+ months and up and as long as you have water handy, you are good-to-go! My sweetie loves it and I am sure yours will too!
