Wipe Clean: Pen Control: An Introduction to Pen Control with Activities To Do Again and Again! (Wipe Clean Learning Books)

Perfect for ages 2 and up

Keeps my 3 year old busy! He loves practicing his tracing. The dry erase marker it comes with does not last long. Ours dried out so we got some cheap dollar store ones as back up. Highly recommend this workbook!

I got this for our 3 year old to learn how to hold a pencil/marker and practice pen control. I read a lot of reviews on here to figure out which book to pick and feel like this was the best choice. Others were too advanced. This has straight lines, squiggly, tracing shapes, etc. All the basic things that will help with pen control before moving to more complicated things like letters. It's perfect for beginners.

Don't listen to the bad reviews. This book is a great learning tool and it DOES wipe clean if you're smart enough to use the marker that comes with it. Let the marker dry then wipe off with a wet paper towel. I wiped mine off with a piece of wet toilet paper and it came right off as you can see in the pictures. Now you probably can't use just any marker obviously. That's where common sense comes in. You may have to order these specific markers which I'm totally willing to do because my toddlers are already learning great pen control with this book and we've had it one day. Totally worth the money.

I wanted to buy my one year old daughter a book like this because she was so intrested in writing, when she would see me writing she would point to the pen saying "that, that that!". So i went to toys r us and looked at all the priddy books like this. Then i came home and ordered from amazon because they were 25% less expensive on here! I chose this book because it seemed to have the most variety and simple activities (because she is only one!) I was very surprised when we recieved our book, how intrested she really was. I thought it would just get a look about and be tossed into our "learning bucket" with the other learning tools we have, that are a bit advanced, and we put them aside for when she's a little older. But No! She actually was very engaged and even let me show her how to do it ( she usually has to be the boss lol). After some teaching and a little bit of practice she actually can write with the pen in the book and she even did the activities on the first page, with guidance. One thing that really bothered me and hence the 4 stars, was that I have to erase the dry erase pen marks immediately or the marks will stay permanately. Other than that, this is nicely made and easy enough for my one year old. Im not sure how long a 3 year old would be engaged, as the activities are quite simple. Im glad i purchased this now , oppossed to waiting until shes 3, because I feel as though it will get played with a lot more.

I absolutely love these for my toddler, i prefer a different marker than the one it comes with but that’s because I want a color other than black. Yes it is hard to wipe off but i like that feature because it helps me check my kids work. Nothing that a little rubbing alcohol cant wipe away. This has definitely helped my child’s pen control!

My son is 2.5 years old and this is his travel book for doctor visits and waiting rooms. He loves it! We use it with EXPO whiteboard markers because they wipe off super easy and he has better pen control with the wide markers. Tip: If they don't wipe off an old/dried EXPO whiteboard marker over the top of them gets it off super easy. He loves the activities in this book! There is so much to do in such a small space. With the bright colours and easy to identify pictures it really is worth every penny. It's great and I would highly recommend it!

If your child is starting out writing words and shapes, this will help them learn how to control the utensil. My daughter has used this frequently and it drastically improved her accuracy in making letters, numbers, and shapes.
