5.0 out of 5 stars Great for adults and children!, July 23, 2007

This review is from: Doodle Pro Basic Color - Translucent Blue - J5603 (Toy)

First off, don't spend anything over $19.99 for this model. They can be found at Toys R Us for that price. I don't know why this one is being sold for almost $40 here.

Even though this is a child's toy, it is not just for children. When I was a child we used to have a device that had a thin piece of pink plastic that covered over a hard white plastic bottom baseboard. When you wrote on it, the plastic would smash together and allow you to see what you wrote. This method worked poorly to say the least. The letters would start to disappear immediately.

My hard witting is not as good as I want it to be. I have been doing handwriting exercises to improve it; but this wastes a lot of paper. So I went looking for the Pink Board. I found out that it had been replaced with this Magnetic-type board. The Doodle Pro seemed like the perfect tool for my needs and it truly is. The Doodle Pro is very solid. Made of hard plastic. It works by using thin Iron pieces locked in between two plastic sheets. When you use the magnetic pen, it drawls the Iron partials together and forms it into what ever shape you wrote it in. The idea works very well. You can shake this thing like crazy and the Iron pieces will stay in there place. When you write out letters, they stay pretty much as they would when written on a sheet of paper. Which makes it perfect for adults who are looking to improve their writing skills.

So if you want to buy one of these for a child, it will withstand their abuse with ease. Just don't feel ashamed if you find it to be a useful tool for yourself.

(((NOTE: Just make sure you buy a Doodle Pro and not some cheap Chinese knock-off. I wasted $30 on some piece of junk being sold here on this web site.)))

My son got one of these from Grandma for Christmas when he was two. He loves drawing on it and we've been using it lately to learn his letters. I just write a letter on it and he tells me what it is. We'll use it later on to let him practice making the letters. He also enjoys it when I draw a picture and he colors it in with the pen. He also colors in the whole thing and then pretends that it's chocolate ice cream which he pretends to scoop into bowls with a spoon. All in all I think this is a very versatile toy with alot of potential uses and something that kids should play with for quite a while. I had something similar to this when I was a kid and I enjoyed it very much.

I bought this for my two and a half year old son last Christmas and he still loves it and so do his cousins. However, this price is truly unbelievable! I purchased it for around $10 at Target, a much more reasonable price.
