Easy to purchase and delivered when it stated it would be delivered. A great gift for any age!

I got this small Buddha board for my mom for Christmas. She isn't particularly artsy, but enjoys doodling occasionally, and I thought would like the chance to express herself in a way that just disappeared after a bit. I was right. This board and a small bowl of water have been sitting out in her home since the day she unwrapped it, and I believe gets daily or near daily use. Depending on how much water you use, your art dries up and disappears within about a minute or two. There is no trace at all left over. I have also enjoyed doodling on it several times, it's an enticing sort of fidget. Comically, my mom has reported that her most favored use of the Buddha board has been to write out her frustrations after some arguments with family and "no one has to know what awful language [she] used."I highly recommend this small Buddha board for yourself or for a gift.

I got the mini one, it’s perfect for laying in bed relaxing :)

I bought this to practice my Japanese writing and I have to say it works great! I really love the traditional Japanese ink styling that the brush makes on the board. The one issue I have with this is that the side of my board is poorly cut so it looks a little dingy. Other than that, it's a great product! Also I should note that the mini water trough for the mini budda board is too small for my clumsy self to add water without saturating the board; I feel like I would need to use an eyedropper to add water safely. However I don't consider this a fault considering that this is a mini version intended for travel and I can just have a bowl or cup of water next to me when I settle down for some writing practice. Definitely worth the buy!

Buying this for our toddler to use on a 5 hour flight was the best decision. If we hadn’t brought this, our entire flight would have been misery. It was the only thing that kept her occupied and still for more than 20 minutes straight. Best yet, we only added a smidge of water and when she did manage to spill a bit…no harm done with it just being water! Seriously, we would have lost our minds without this. Even her favorite shows on our phones didn’t keep her attention. Those intermittent 20 minutes of peace were everything.

I enjoy using this small format next to my living room chair and use it during tv commercials to create a quick temporary piece of art. The Water drawing cloth seems to be the same as what is used to teach children Chinese calligraphy, but in a nice package for quick storage. Comes with a brush and I prefer to use a small cup or glass for the water, rather than the tray in the case.

"Be master of mind rather than mastered by mind."For some, buying something titled Zen and Buddha is enough to feel they've given a gift that says something about the person they want people to think they are and are not as close-minded as "others". For others, it really is Zen-ful. For some of you, it's neither.I bought this for some in-laws and for my yoga instructor for gifts for various occassions over the last few months. Everyone (well, except that one SIL that we all can laugh about) thought it was great fun and appreciated the simple pleasure of doodling for a moment, and then letting it go.Zen Buddhism emphasizes enlightenment through the knowledge gained through meditation rather than study of scripture of texts. "To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." To quiet your mind for a moment, to detach from work, the gaggle of children running at your feet, or from the 1,000,001 other distractions of our day - even for a moment - is Zen.And if that doesn't work for you, it is useful for party games (quick sketch for Cranium), goofing off, leaving a quick and dirty message for your SO that will disappear before the kids see it, or hundreds of other fun uses. It is not good for grocery list making, the brush is too thick, and it's gone before you get to the store.A small, fun thoughtful gift is exactly the intention of this gift, and it earns 5 stars from me for doing exactly that.

All of my grandchildren have one and a couple of them have bought one as a birthday party gift. That’s when you know you chose the right gift for them!
