Summary: Fun, no mess toy, however...

Review: The little magnet stampers are a little too cheap. You have to assemble them yourself. You get to punch them out of a sheet of perforated magnetic stuff with sticker backing and apply them to the stampers. Beware - if you don't get them on in just the right spot, you'll have a heck of a time readjusting them. Also, the magnets aren't very strong - they don't make a nice, dark, clean line of the shape. And they get lost if you're not on top of your kid watching their every move while they play.
On a more positive note, we've had this toy for a year now and it has held up really well. My son keeps breaking the string that the pen is attached to, but he's really hard on this toy. I'm surprised at how well it has held up. I just located all 4 stampers for the first time in 4 months and it's now a permanent travel toy. It has been a lifesaver when we go out - long car rides, shopping trips, and it's a great mobile toy to take overnight to grandma's house. Just remove the stampers or they'll be lost in no time. ;)

Summary: Great toy for young kids who like to draw

Review: This toy is very educational, seeing as how you can learn how to read and write on it, as well as learn how to draw shapes. This toy is also cost effective becuase you don't have to waste money on endless peices of paper, your child can just erase his drawings. The eraser is usually always easy enough for a little hand to pull and the board is just the right size for a little lap. If you buy this toy it will be cherished for years to come and you will be sure to get many more of the like. The only problem is that when it is stepped on it turns black and is impossible to write on, but if you keep it off of the floors, you shouldn't have any problems. All in all, this is an excellent toy that I would highly suggest you get.

Summary: Magna Doodle is better

Review: I was surprised to find Doodle Pros everywhere and no Magna Doodles in stores, so I thought, why not, I'll get a Doodle Pro. I promptly returned it. Obviously they do not use high quality magnets in the Doodle Pro as they do in the Magna Doodle because the lines are not nearly as dark or as satisfying to make. The stamps are equally disappointing and leave only faint marks. The eraser bar is also very hard to drag across and does not fully erase unless you drag it back and forth. I love my Magna Doodle it is obviously a much higher quality of toy, dark rich lines, easy erasure. My only complaint is that the stamps fall out, but we always manage to find them. I would also mention that the age range seems too high to me. My two year old loves this and I love it because it is a good way to practice scribbling without mess.

Review: This toy is terrific for no mess early writing and drawing practice. Twos and threes can learn to hold a pen and begin to scribble, fours can begin to write letters and numbers. It has a handle which makes it a great "on the go" toy. It also has a built in drawer to hold the four magnetic stampers, which makes it a little easier to keep track of them.
