Got this for my 16 month old son for Christmas because he loves to color. It is a nice alternative to possibly messy crayons, markers, pencils, or pens. One main reason I got this one was because of the light. It's great for car rides! It's really easy for my son to use too. Sometimes they are difficult to erase but he can do it with ease. He can also turn on the light with no problem. I also like the feature that turns off the light automatically after 3 minutes. Overall, really like the product. My son has used it every day since Christmas. The only reason I gave it a one-star for educational is that we really don't use it much for that purpose at this point. I'll use it to write words and draw pictures of things to teach him, but that's about it right now. I'm sure later on it will be nice for him to practice writing his letters/words.
