We tried screen timers. We tried reward charts. We even tried hiding the remote. But nothing seemed to keep our daughter off her tablet for long...
Until one ordinary Tuesday afternoon.
I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a video of a child drawing on a spoon, dipping it in water, and watching their artwork float. Not smear. Not sink. It floated. Like magic.

I clicked.
It was a kit called Magical Floating Drawing Pens by Kiddies Create. I figured it was worth a shot.
When it arrived, I set it up on the kitchen table. My daughter—already asking for her tablet—sat down skeptically.
She drew a smiley face on the ceramic spoon. She dipped it into the bowl of water.
Her jaw dropped.
Drawings that float on water
It lifted and floated like a jellyfish. She let out the loudest laugh I’ve heard in weeks.
One hour later, she was still at the table, making stars, hearts, stick figures—and naming them. Zero mess. Zero screen.
That was two weeks ago. She now asks for her “magic pen time” every day.
It’s not just a toy. It’s a screen-free creative ritual. And for the first time in forever, I don’t feel like I’m in a constant battle with technology.
Over 70,000 families are now using this kit to reconnect. I can see why.
