AD Who else loves that their kids are creative but can’t stand the clear up afterwards? I almost dread the words, ‘Mummy can I do painting?’ ‘Where’s the glue?’ You name it! Well that’s where DoodleJamz drawing pads are amazing – not only is it creative and fun but it’s also mess-free! Every parents dream!
DoodleJamz
DoodleJamz are also great for sensory play as you can squish and shape them. The drawing pads are filled with safe, non- toxic gel or beads for your child to draw or mould into pictures, designs and shapes for endless creative fun – and no mess afterwards. Each drawing pad comes with a very easy to use stylus or your kids can just use their fingers to create.
There are two styles of DoodleJamz; one with beads gel and one with two coloured layers of gel. My son loves them both. The drawing pads are framed and have a picture inside which you cna turn over for another image. But what really helkps keep the play fun is that you cna use whatever image you like in the drawing pads. Here’s how:
How to create backer carders for DoodleJam
Step One:
Get your child to take a picture! This can be a selfie, a picture of your pet or anything that captures the imagination.
Step Two:
Visit the Doodle Jamz website to upload your picture and follow the instructions. It’s so easy to do. Then click print.
Step Three:
When printed, cut out the picture. Insert the picture into the drawing pad and and your good to go!
Alternatively you can visit the many fun templates in the DoodleJamz Gallery and download and print your favourites.
Step Four:
Shape your beads or gel to enhance your picture. My son thought it was hilarious first giving me a beard and then blindfolding me whilst giving himself a funny new hairstyle.
Why we love DoodleJamz
Fundamentally we love DoodleJamz because they’re fun! They keep the kids occupied and it helps them use their imaginations. Once they’ve finished playing with them there’s no mess to clear away and they are easy to store as they are slimline and light weight. As they are so light they are also perfect to take with you on holidays. It will help kids stay entertained on planes and trains and a good art activity for when they are away. You could even buy postcards from your destination to use as smaller backer cards.
DoodleJamz is also great for practicing writing and developing fine motor skills, perfect for little ones. But it’s fun for any age and I found myself having a go quite a few times!!
Lastly, we love them because they are affordable! Available from Smyths Toys for just £4.99 a DoodleJamz drawing pad makes the perfect gift for kids parties or is a brilliant thing for your kid to buy with their own pocket money.
These look great! Thanks for sharing!
