each country has a kidcot station. The first station you go to they will give you a mask on a stick to color. Then at each country they will attach a symbol to it that is related to the country. They will also stamp it with a stamp from that country. After your mask has all the stamps, you get a free poster. It is something for a child to do to relax because they are allowed to sit down. If your child likes to color then they will enjoy it.

I thought I also saw Kidcot on an AK Map. What do they have there?

I believe there is something at Animal Kingdom but have no clue where everything is. Just check at the Guest Relations to your left right after you go through the turn styles.

At Epcot, the Kidcot stations are at each country and they cost nothing. Your child can start at any country and starts a mask to which he/she will add at additional countries. The stations don't open until 1:00 so plan accordingly. The kids can stay as long as they (or you) want. If it's raining, the stations will be moved inside. You just have to look for them or ask a Cast Member.

You can get a passport and have the Cast Members sign on their respective countries. It's been a while but I think the cost is around $10 or so.

This was the first time we saw kidcot stops at Test Track, Living Seas and the Land. They were strings that go around your neck with cut outs from the pavillions and coloring area. It was nice, my kids always love doing the stops on the countries.

In Feb, the Kidcot stations were open well before 1:00. They were open at 11am when World Showcase opened. Is this 1pm opening a recent change?

Also, I recall all Kidcot stations being inside. Some were kind of tricky to find because the map isn't very clear as to which building they were in. Maybe the inside/outside is a seasonal thing?

To answer the OP's original question, I think the 2.5 yo will like it somewhat if he/she is into coloring, but the 1yo could probably care less.

It's also fun to talk with the people at each Kidcot station because they're usually from that country.
