    Do you remember those Color Wonder markers — the markers that only show their colors when rubbed on the special Color Wonder paper?

    And then they did. Specifically, the folks at Melissa & Doug created Water Wow!, a marker that uses no chemical liquid of any kind, but instead is filled with water — which you refill after each use — and it DOES NOT HAVE A CAP!

    But now? The jig is up, kids. We are no longer at the mercy of those tiny pieces of plastic. Parents: 1, Toddlers: 0.

    Outside of the obvious and revolutionary magical marker, the design of the books themselves is also brilliant.

    Water Wow! also has a devoted following among Amazon reviewers:

    So let me get this straight, you might be saying to yourself. No chance of mess, no chance of the book coming apart at the seams, and reusable for…forever?

    Get a pack of two or three from Amazon for $9.99 or $14.50 or one from Walmart for $4.74.
