these things are *the best* for restaurants. they're flat, quiet, fold up, and they're even decently waterproof. only downside is they take up room when folded out. lots of sets to choose from.
Price and availability are as of the time shown and change.
for little hands that can't peel flat stickers yet - a younger alternative to my reusable sticker book recommendation for on-the-go entertainment. the bundles tend to be cheaper - target ~$6-7 per book.
I loveeee this for letting kids "paint" with zero worry. It works on any of the color wonder paper.
I keep a couple of these of varying themes in my gift stash, especially for the 2-3 year olds. they've never gotten a bad review. i grab a couple when i see them in the $8-9 range for a bundle.
