Editorial Review

The Lightwriter Glow-in-the-Dark Activity Set is oodles of fun! Play a solar-system game; match dinosaur skeletons to their proper names; explore bioluminescent underwater critters; play tic-tac-toe; or just draw! More than a fancy art kit, this set includes the Light Pen, which energizes glow-in-the-dark sheets with a blast of light; a lightproof storage case and desk; seven stencils with diverse subject matter ranging from skeletons to solar systems; two phosphorescent sheets that will last for years; plus an activity guide with tons of information on how phospholuminescence works in both the natural and the scientific world. Lightwriter appeals to a wide range of ages and interests, from the artistically challenged to the sophisticatedly scientific. And it works great under the covers at bedtime! --Julie Ubben

1.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't buy it, August 27, 2008

Thought this product was cool based on the pictures and description, but when I got it it was pretty bad. My daughter lost interest very quick as you really couldn't see the designs unless you were in the complete dark but then you can't see what you are doing. Don't waste money on this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but wish it had more phosphorescent sheets, December 31, 2008

This is pretty cool, but I wish there was a little more to it.

Yes, it does need to be very dark - but then, the kids think it is cool to sit in the closet... that actually might be its biggest allure.

The kids ask to do it all the time, but there are only 2 phosphorescent sheets. So, it takes them all of 3 minutes per sheet to draw a picture, and then you need to wait for the glow to disappear before you can draw more... so, it is a short lived thing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Quality, October 3, 2011

This review is from: GeoSafari Light Writer (Toy)

We bought this for our five year and it is horrible in quality. We couldn't fit the batteries in after multiple attempts. for the record we are not morons, we have an MD and an MBA between my husband and I). After further investigation, we realized that the battery contacts in the pen were bent. I have written a complaint letter to the company. Anyone who has tried to give a child a toy and then have to deal with the aftermath of it not working, be ware, this toy is not worth it! After our experience with this malfunction, I have done some internet research and found that this is a common complaint amongst purchasers. Very disappointing!
