As a 34-year-old mom of four girls—19-year-old twins, a 16-year-old, and a 4-year-old—juggling full-time work, school, two dogs, and five cats, I’m always on the hunt for mess-free activities to keep my youngest entertained. I picked up the Crayola Bluey Color Wonder Coloring Set with 18 Bluey Coloring Pages for my 4-year-old, a huge Bluey fan, and it’s been a game-changer for quiet moments in our chaotic household.Design and Contents: This set comes with 18 perforated coloring pages featuring Bluey, Bingo, and their family in fun scenes, plus 5 Color Wonder markers that only work on the special paper. The pages are about 8x10 inches, perfect for small hands, and the markers have broad tips that my daughter can grip easily. The ink’s magic—coloring only on the paper, not on our walls, furniture, or my light skin (a relief with dry skin prone to irritation)—makes it ideal for our busy home where my cats love to nap on tables.Functionality and Kid Appeal: My 4-year-old adores coloring Bluey scenes, often for 30 minutes straight while I’m studying or wrangling the dogs after a muddy walk. The markers reveal vibrant colors that keep her engaged, and the perforated pages let me tear out her masterpieces to hang on the fridge without ripping. It’s perfect for her age, and even my 16-year-old joined in for nostalgic fun during a family night. The mess-free aspect is a blessing when I’m too tired to scrub marker stains after a long day of work and classes.Durability and Safety: The markers are non-toxic and wash off skin easily (important since my dry skin flares with harsh chemicals), and the pages hold color well without bleeding. However, the paper is a bit thin—my enthusiastic 4-year-old tore a couple of pages while flipping through excitedly. The markers’ caps stay on tight, which is great with curious cats around, but leaving one uncapped overnight did dry it out slightly.Pros:Mess-free coloring saves my furniture and sanity in a pet-filled home.Bluey-themed pages thrill my preschooler and spark creativity.Enough pages and markers for multiple sessions, good value.Safe for kids and gentle on my sensitive, dry skin if touched.Cons:Thin pages tear easily with rough handling by young kids.Markers only work on Color Wonder paper, limiting versatility.The pad could use stronger binding for frequent use.Final Thoughts: This Crayola Bluey Color Wonder Set is a must-have for busy parents like me, especially with a toddler and pets making messes. It keeps my 4-year-old entertained without adding to my cleanup list, and the Bluey theme is a hit in our household. I’d recommend it to other moms managing hectic schedules and might grab another for road trips or gift-giving.
