Review: Roger Priddy’s Wipe Clean Books – Fun, Reusable Learning for Kids
If you’re a parent, teacher, or doting auntie (like me), you’ve probably searched high and low for early learning books that are both fun and practical. Enter Roger Priddy’s Wipe Clean series—a collection of educational activity books for toddlers and preschoolers that can be written on, wiped off, and used again and again.
These wipe clean books are some of the most popular learning tools for kids aged 3–5, and for good reason: they make handwriting practice, number tracing, and first words exciting instead of stressful.
What Are Roger Priddy’s Wipe Clean Books?
The Wipe Clean books are glossy, reusable activity books that come with a special pen. Children can practice writing letters, tracing numbers, solving puzzles, or learning new words, then wipe the page clean and start over.
This makes them ideal for:
-
Preschool learning at home
-
Kindergarten readiness
-
Developing fine motor skills

Confidence building without pressure
In short, they’re the perfect first workbooks for early learners.

My Honest Review
As someone who has gifted these books to nieces and nephews, I can confirm: they’re a hit. Kids feel proud of themselves as they trace letters or complete puzzles, and parents love how durable and reusable the format is.
The only “downside”? By the time kids hit age 6 or 7, they’ll likely outgrow them. But for those early years, they’re worth every dirham.
And let’s be real—don’t you wish adult life came with wipe-clean budgeting books?
