Product Description

The Original Buddha Board greatly encourages the user to value the present. You simply paint on the board's special surface with water; the image darkens and then slowly fades away. It is also environmentally friendly and will last for years with proper care.

This review is from: Original Buddha Board (Toy)

Works great really I love it and its all I ever wanted. I have already damaged it in the first 20 minutes out of the box. Do not let water collect at the bottom where its on the stand it will leave a mark like its still wet even when its dry. (the water doesn't drip off into water basin, dry it immediately) this is written in the directions.

A unique product which accomplishes precisely what it was intended for: ~ create and then let go. Watching your creative work gently fade away as it evaporates keeps you living in the moment, for sure. I haven't yet mastered painting with water (can anyone?), but it's fun to try. I keep the Buddha Board in my office and co-workers stop by to release their creative energy. The most amusing drawing was a Chesire Cat, who disappeared just like in Alice's Wonderland :)

we bought these for the store I work at, and I love 'em. You simply dip the brush in water and paint on the surface. There is also a paper on the left of the mini board if you want to write a card.

In a moment your art creation appears, you enjoy it, and then three to five minutes later, it disappears and you create a new masterpiece. Also, the paper last for a while.

very Zen, in the moment, relaxing and no pressure to be artist of the year--just fun.
