Product Information
Full details
The Peter Rabbit Water Stamp Set is designed for young children aged 18 months and up, offering a mess-free introduction to creative play and early learning. Its key benefit is providing hours of artistic exploration using only water, eliminating the worry of ink stains. A potential caveat is the reliance on water, which requires adult supervision to prevent excessive wetting of surfaces. This set includes a water play mat, character-shaped stampers, a stencil, and a doodle pen, allowing children to draw, stamp, and create colourful scenes that magically disappear as they dry, encouraging endless replayability and screen-free entertainment.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this product suitable for very young babies?
The Peter Rabbit Water Stamp Set is recommended for children aged 18 months and up due to the presence of small parts (stampers) and the water-based activity which requires some supervision.
How long does it take for the drawings to disappear?
The drawings typically fade away within 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the amount of water used and the ambient temperature and humidity. Once dry, the mat is ready for new creations.
Can I use regular markers or crayons on the mat?
No, the mat is designed specifically for use with water only. Using traditional art supplies like markers, crayons, or paints will not work and may permanently damage the mat's surface.
What is the size of the play mat?
The play mat is circular and features various illustrations, letters, and numbers designed for engaging play. Specific dimensions are not provided but it is sized appropriately for a child to use comfortably on the floor or table.
How do I clean the play mat and accessories?
Allow the play mat to air dry completely after each use. Wipe the stampers and stencil with a damp cloth if necessary and ensure they are also dried thoroughly. Empty the water pen when not in use.
Does the set come with ink or paint?
No, this is a water-only stamp set. It does not contain any ink, paint, or chemicals, making it a safe and mess-free option for young children.
Is the water pen refillable?
Yes, the doodle water pen is refillable. You can unscrew the cap and fill the internal reservoir with clean tap water.
Troubleshooting
Water pen is not drawing on the mat.
Ensure the pen is filled with sufficient water and that the cap is screwed on tightly. Check that the tip of the pen is not obstructed.
Mat is not revealing colours.
Verify that the mat is completely dry before use. If the mat has been saturated, allow more time for it to dry thoroughly. Ensure you are using only the provided water pen and stampers.
Colours are fading too quickly.
This can occur if the mat is too warm or in direct sunlight. Try moving to a cooler area. The fading is a designed feature to allow for continuous play; if you wish for a drawing to remain longer, keep the mat surface cool and away from heat sources.
Stampers are not leaving clear marks.
Ensure the stamper is adequately wet from dipping it into the water (if applicable, or ensure water is applied via the pen/mat for stamping action) and press firmly onto the mat. Clean any debris from the stamper's surface.
