Buddha Board – The Original Water Painting Board for Mindfulness & Creativity – Unique Gift for Artists, Adults & Kids – Mess-Free Zen Art Supplies

Fun gift options! My adult kids loved the ease of use and it dries quickly so can create a new painting. Easy and quick to use.

Very relaxing. I love using this! It is so fun! I would recommend it for older children to adults as you do have to be careful with it. It is something that you need to be gentle with, but still well worth the money and I have bought others for my family.

I bought this for my gf who loves to doodle and also WFH on phonecalls all day.Was a Perfect lil gift

This is sort of one of my favorite objects now. I've enjoyed sumi-e painting since adolescence and studied it for a bit, but fell out of practice. Now I can make at least one reasonably good image every day, whenever I feel like it, and not waste any paper (which can be hard to get). Although water is not quite as versatile or easy to work with as ink (or at least I'm far less used to it), the images I can make are still quite beautiful and this should be easy and enjoyable for both the beginner and even for a sumi-e practitioner who wants a "sketch pad" to scratch out ideas on and play. Sumi-e painting traditionally has spiritual and ritual components, but it's nice to be able to enjoy the techniques just for fun and playfulness (there is spiritual value there as well). In terms of value added to my life, it's worth twice what I paid for it. It's also very light and a good size that's neither too obtrusive nor too small to be a very good canvas, and the design is attractive even just as a centerpiece on a table. This is absolutely worth the buy.

This board can help you get into a relaxing zone, pending what habits you enjoy. I personally don't enjoy the sound of my neighbor so I try to relax with things like this. However, I originally purchased the board because I thought it was neat and I could use it to try out brush strokes, etc. The board is sturdy and process simple. You unbox it, fill the little box with some water, set the board up carefully, dip your brush, and get to steppin'. The quirks I noticed are this: - Dipping the brush in full or not swiping some water off by using the edge of the box just gets too much water on the board. It drips down your new art, making it cry. You either have to get very little water on the brush at a time or gently brush the excess water off after a dip using the box before applying to the board. - Using to much water or just a lot? Is it dripping? It all sits at the bottom of the board in a big 'ol line. I was actually afraid I'd somehow ruined my board after a while because it looked like a water stain. Eventually it finally dried (left it out in safe from cat location overnight) and we were all good. - The brush strokes dry quickly... I know they are supposed to fade but I'm talking like, less than one minute quick. Unless I globbed on the water (which presented the drip issue), I didn't get time to use the full board or see the full painting for more than a few seconds before some or all of it faded away. Giftable? I personally wouldn't gift this but not because it isn't a good product. I'd rather gift things more useful. I would not recommend this for kids unless they're responsible teens. The OG Buddha Board is wood and would likely get snapped and injure someone with kiddos. Maybe try the portable plastic one of you really want. Overall, this will work for my intentions mentioned at the beginning. Relaxation and quick practice. I won't use it for much else, unfortunately.

Gave these to my 10 and 12 year old granddaughters. They loved them and used them off and on throughout their stay with me. No mess. Worth the money

This is a wonderful board, you practice your caligraphy, or drawing. Then meditate in letting go, as slowly your drawing dissapears. Is such a relaxing, soft while material lasting. An inivtation to practice, to be present. Amazing love it.

This is the perfect gift for someone who talks on the phone and find something to distract them when they zone out. It is exactly like pictured and listed. I would also say that it is worth the money and it’s easy to use!

Ho fatto un regalo a mia figlia che studia giapponese e l'ho fatta felice. Le permette di esercitarsi con la scrittura giapponese senza stare a sprecare carta. Sembra un sottile foglio di carta su una tavoletta di ardesia. È molto delicato ma perché è un oggetto molto particolare non per altro.

La tabla es una verdadera maravilla, un recurso inagotable para la imaginación y la creatividad. Es un placer dibujar con un pincel húmedo y presenciar cómo se forman los trazos suavemente y después van desapareciendo al mismo ritmo que tu estrés. Pueden utilizarse otros pinceles, hay que tener cuidado de no rayar la superficie. Si le pones unos cantos rodados en la cubeta del agua, la experiencia se vuelve más orgánica y auténtica. Para los niños es algo mágico. Magnífico para un regalo y también para un autorregalo.

I placed the buddha board in a common area for everyone in the family to enjoy. To my great surprise, everyone had a go at using it and had heaps of fun with it. In fact, we started having discussions on how to write certain Chinese characters, which is a great way for us to connect with our older parents. My husband also commented on the fact that he love that it just dries up and disappears, so he doesn't care as much about making mistakes, allowing him to freely draw whatever. Big thumbs up from everyone!

What a unique idea. My daughter and son in law love zen. I new this would be an excellent gift for them. They love it and use it all the time. They move it around to different rooms depending on what they are up to. Great . Love it

Tableau magique, très relaxant pour laisser cours à l'imagination. Tres facile à utiliser. A eu beaucoup de succes comme cadeau à Noël. Le dessin à l’eau se transforme avant de faire disparaître une oeuvre éphémère
