Mummy Knows Best

Fun and portable activities for kids.

How many restaurants have you sat in and regretted bringing the kids?Sometimes, there’s just no choice. I have come up with several innovations to keep them occupied until the food arrives. I have done the ball point pen and back of an old bill combo and I have asked restaurants for sheets to colour on. For a last minute thing, its ok - but now I come prepared.

The latest thing on my list is the new ‘Doodle Pro’ mini. It’s a smaller version of the desk Doodle Pro and fits very easily in the hands of a three year old and your purse. The pen is attached with a rope, so that’s not going anywhere and there you have it, a reusable drawing board. So the moment we are seated I flip out my little treasure, point to half a dozen things in the restaurant and ask my daughter to draw, baby, draw! Till now it has been working like a charm. The mini Doodle Pro is ideal for the car, train, airport, anywhere you are likely to wait, which we all know kids hate to do more than us.

For me personally, the nicest part is the ‘no waste’ capacity of Doodle Pro. Just draw, wipe, draw, wipe … its endless fun without paper!

Mini Doodle Pro by Fisher Price is available at all leading stores across the country. Priced at Rs.399. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns too.
