Summary: A Little Disappointing

Review: My son received this for his 4th Birthday, and I have to say that I, as he was, was disappointed with this product. The track has to be perfect in order for Thomas to follow it (which it only does about 50% of the time) and don't dare make the turns too sharp, or it gets completely lost. Overall, the train is cute because it does play music, but my 4 year old would rather draw on it then try and make this train follow the track. Too much work, for it to properly work only a fraction of the time.

All in all, he would have been just as satisfied with the $16 'on sale at Walmart' regular aqua-doodle mat.

This item is too expensive for it to not work as promised.

Review: My son loves anything Thomas, so this was a must with him. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as enjoyable as depicted on TV.

My son loves to draw and "doodle" and had the entire mat covered within a few minutes. He wanted to know why he couldn't "wipe it off". (He loves his write-on/wipe-off board on his art easel, which provides hours of entertainment). He was extremely frustrated with the fact that the mat didn't dry very quickly. You know how long fabric takes to dry!!

Thomas does indeed follow the "wet" track. But beware, if your child draws sharp turns or draws anything else close to the track, or if the track is not completely solid, the engines steering mechanism moves off course very easily. Another frustration to my son, he likes things to work they way they are supposed to.

The train is actually quite cute. However, it is rather large for the small mat size.

All in all, using his Thomas the tank train table ia a more enjoyable train experience, and his write-on/wipe-off art board is a more enjoyable art experience.

It's true it doesn't make much of a mess, but then again neither does any other toy that my son ignores. Once he was done "wetting it down" he didn't have the patience to wait for it to dry for an hour, so he moved onto other toys. Hasn't gone back to it since.

I can think of many other toys I'd rather have for $40! Leap Frog comes to mind!

Review: My 4-1/2-year-old son absolutley loves this item! I must admit he is a diehard Thomas Fan; however, and would like anything to do with Thomas no matter what it was. I was impressed that the train actually follows the track just like it said it would. The only downside to this item is that you have to wait so long for it to dry before you can draw another track. Oh well, I guess I'll have to practice what I preach and have patience.
