Wipe Clean Workbook Tracing and Pen Control: Includes Wipe-Clean Pen (Wipe Clean Learning Books)

This is a great book, my 2 yr old loves it and it helps him begin to write. Preparing him for pre school

So I recently bought a bunch of these books for my little over two year old to work on while I started working from home very part time. I needed something to keep him busy that requires minimal interaction from me and isn't just watching a movie. These work well for that. I should also add that we've been using Expo fine tipped dry erase markers and have had no problem cleaning them up with just a dry rag. One of the hardest things I had to decide between was which of these books to get, and since I'm really visual and more of a like to flip through the book first person, I figured I'd post the photos here to give you an idea of what you're getting with this one.One of the things I love about this one in particular is how it really can grow with your child as their skills develop and get better, the images get more complex and detailed, but it starts out very simple and large. My two year old isn't really able to trace stuff yet, but he enjoys doing it with me and watching me and trying to do it himself. He's also learning to color in the object s with these as we learn about borders and shapes. Some of the activities are also repetative as you go along, giving them lots of practice and then buids on their skills later in the book using the same kinds of ideas.Since most of these kinds of books actually focus on tracing activities, I really wasn't sure about this one and if it would be repetitive in our library, but the fact that it takes your child from beginner learner to more advanced has me convinced I made the right choice as a lot of these books tend towards a certain level and don't really take them from beginner to more advanced as this one does.

If you have read my other reviews, you will see that I purchased several different versions of the dry erase workbooks for my granddaughter. This one is different than the other two that I bought.First, I must mention Amazon and it's amazing ability to have things arrive at my door almost before I hit the order button. If I had to mention one thing that bothered me about the purchase it's that this was just laying in the bottom of a box that had other purchases on top of it. Because the pages are cardboard/whiteboard, I would have like to have seen it have a little more protection from getting gouged or scratched by the other things in the box. I know that is minor, but the little dings make the book look like it is used already, although it's perfectly clear it hasn't been.I also cannot stress enough that the included markers with these types of books for kids are a nightmare. For one thing, no matter which hand is dominant, when they write or trace their hand inevitably crosses something they've already done, and it smears. So then there is black on the sides of their hands, and it messes up the whole page they have been working on. Add to that the aggravation of their shirt sleeve dragging through smeared black marker ink, and you have a recipe for a laundry disaster. So order the Crayola Dry Erase Crayon set that is around $4 and get rid of the markers before your child sees it, (this is for your own sanity, trust me on this!)I bought this workbook for my granddaughter who is 5. She asked for Santa to bring her books this year instead of toys. Her favorite thing to do now is to read and to do school work. I picked this book because she gets frustrated when she is trying to draw a shape and her 'work' is not quite the right shape. For the intended purpose, this book is perfect. It just helps to round out the fine motor skills required to draw a shape. Plus, if all the work they put in to drawing these shapes yields less than perfect results, they can just erase and start over again.I would think that this book would even be appropriate for ages 3 and up, and especially if you have siblings that include one that has started school and one that hasn't, the older can use this to 'teach' their younger brother or sister what they work on in school. Anything that buys a parent 10 minutes of quiet play is worth any cost, but with this book the cost is minimal!I liked that the spiral spine of this particular workbook is partially covered by the cover, so there is less chance for the spiral to get smashed and inoperable. The spiral is pretty thick and covered with thick white plastic, so there is no exposed metal. All in all, this is another great Amazon purchase, and you can't beat the price!

Perfect for helping your little one learn how to control pencils and crayons and writing. Loved this.

The media could not be loaded.  My 3 yr old loves it. The material is great for dry erase and it seems durable. Well worth it.

If you're looking for a good, educational, and fun workbook for your toddler, this is the one to buy. I spent countless hours reading reviews on Amazon and researching on other sites. My daughter is 2, and she seemed ready for something other than just random coloring on paper, so I wanted a workbook that would begin teaching her to trade, color in the lines, etc. I ordered about 10 workbooks including this one, some Kumon tracing and maze books, and some basic concept ones by Spectrum. This is by FAR the best one and worth the extra few dollars for a 2 year old. It's great because it starts with VERY basic ideas (trace from a dot down), then has the child draw diagonally, draw in a u-shape, draw in a circle, trace shapes, and then trace multiple shapes to create a drawing (example: a cat is make up of triangles for the ears and a circle for the face). All great concepts. I didn't use the pen and instead ordered some dry erase Crayola Crayons, which work perfectly in the book and don't smear or have fumes. HIGHLY recommend this book which holds her attention well. She has a good attention span for her age, but still tends to do a few of the exercises per page and then wants to move on to another page or concept. With the other workbooks, they aren't trace-able, so I put them in the C-Line Reusable Dry Erase Pockets, thereby making my own diy dry erase sheets. But my daughter prefers this book, where she can move on from one concept to another by just turning the page and not get bored (as she tends to do at this age fairly quickly). It's definitely worth the few extra dollars to get this dry erase book over the regular paper workbook style, for the 2-3 year olds and probably the older kids, too. You get WAY more use out of it.

I have a three-year-old, and she absolutely loves this book! I’m impressed at how well she trace the lines, it’s simple, but a favorite!

Granddaughter loves it!

J’aime. Il est plastifié pour pouvoir l’utiliser plus longtemps !

Las actividades de este libro son justo lo que necesita mi hijo de casi tres años para aprender a manipular una pluma, hacer trazos cada vez más firmes y a desarrollar su destreza manual. Muy recomendable!

Die Kinder machen die Übungen gerne und da man es wieder putzen kann, können sie es immer erneut üben. Sehr zufrieden!

Very useful one. My 3 years old son like to trace. Attractive colors, good quality,

The piece which I received had a broken pen, so taking one star away. Else, a nice book for small kids, ideal for tracing and shaping.
