We got this for our son for a trip we went on. We would be driving in the dark, so his MagnaDoodle would be useless. It turned out to be a great toy for him, though I did think it would not be long lasting. It reminded me of the neon sketch toys from when I was a kid where you would draw on it and the plastic stuck to the backing, showing your image brighter. It works in a similiar way, but much better.

You turn the light on, draw on the screen, and it shows up very easily, even in daylight (indoors). You press the button in on top to erase. The button pushes the hard plastic away from the plastic film, erasing the image. While my son (nearly four) had no problem erasing, often the images on the bottom of the screen (closest to the backing) were difficult to erase. He would give it to me and I would have to hold the button it until it erased. After only a week of occasional use, the hard plastic backing (connected to the erase button) cracked while erasing. I can't say I was shocked but I certainly expected this to last more than a week!

This is a fun toy that everybody - even the adults - found to be compelling to pick up if it is sitting there, but one week is a very short time for a toy to last. One other thing...The light stays on until you turn it off. I wish it had an auto-off feature. If they fix the breaking problem, I would highly recommend it!

Update: I e-mailed the company concerning my problem. They called me on the phone within ten minutes. This is the second time I have had to contact Spinmaster's customer service and they are friendly, understanding, and will most definitely find a way to make the situation right. They had FedEx pick up the broken one and are sending a brand new one. This company is great!

This is an excellent, innovative doodling board that toddlers and kids love, and will give them long periods of uninterrupted fun! It lights up brightly, and one has the choice of 3 colors, although one at a time. You can use the included thin stylus pen, or your fingers for 'thicker brushstrokes'. Our 4 year old even kissed the board, and her lips imprint showed! Incidentally, it runs on 3 'AA' batteries. This is quite possibly the BEST doodle board on the market!

LOVE IT!

GloDoodle is such a fun and easy to use toy. My whole family loves to draw and trace with it. We use it to practice shapes and drawing lines, and even our signatures! It's also great to take in the car for quick and long trips, and we totally plan on taking it to Gatlinburg with us this September! It will not only help the car ride be smoother, but will come in handy if we have a rainy day and are stuck in cabin.

GloDoodle is sturdy! We've dropped it off the sofa plenty of times and it still works great!

I love that you can draw with your finger too! That is AWESOME!

i got this for my grandaughter she is 8 years old she loves it takes it on the school bus every day to use it she is on the bus for an hour in the a.m and p.m keeps her ocupied

My son got this toy for his third birthday. Not only were he and his 18 month old sister fighting over who got to play with it next, my husband and I wanted turns, too. Besides drawing on it, which looks amazing, we write words on the board for my son to practice reading on, which is more motivating for him than, say, flash cards. It's a little tricky to erase the bottom of the board - you need to push the erase button on top and press on the screen at te bottom at the same time, but once we figured this out, no problem. The whole family really loves this toy.

This is a great toy for independent play or for drawing and teaching. I got it for my neice since she would draw on any piece of paper she could get her hands on. She loves the bright colors and I love that there is always something to draw on. Its easy to take with us in the car or wherever and fascinates other kids (grownups too!).

I will definitely be giving this as a gift. Its easy, clean and green.

I brought this toy to my Sunday School kids and it was the most popular item. It was the first time I could hold all of their interest for more than 10 minutes!! I love this product and want to buy more for all my kids.

My three year old chose this as her reward for earning stars a couple of weeks ago. At first I was reluctant to indulge her because my experience with these kinds of toys is that they're never as cool as they seem and they don't last very long. But she was taking forever to make up her mind, so I caved since she finally seemed so sure of her choice. I'm glad I did!

She really loves this toy, and it really is as cool as it looks on the package. The colored lines are bright and look great even in daylight. It's easy for her to switch the colors and to erase the board and it keeps her occupied for long periods of time. Even my husband and I enjoy drawing pictures for her using this toy, and she's always asking us to draw things for her so she can change the colors and add little "details."

Some of the reviews have mentioned that the erase mechanism doesn't stand up--we haven't had any issues with ours but our daughter doesn't have a very heavy hand. I can see where someone might have problems, though--the mechanism definitely isn't very sophisticated and probably isn't particularly durable. If your child has a tendency to be rough on toys this might not stand up for long, so keep that in mind before deciding whether or not to buy.

As for us, we are pleased because this is a good way for our daughter to indulge her drawing obsession without using up all the printer paper or writing all over the backs of envelopes. Her drawings are mess-free and waste-free.

I had to get another one of the GloDoodles for my neighbors child for his bday as he is always at my home playing with my kids GloDoodle. I have three GloDoodles!

Sturdy construction.
Kids love it!
Easy to take along on road trips.

My kids even use it as a mini table on our road trips!

I just got this for my 4 year old because he made a mess with some markers and crayons. As it turns out, the 6 & 8 year old are loving it. The see-thru feature is awesome, and this thing really lights-up. They love using it under the sheets in bed, but it also works pretty well in normal light. The creative play has been really good, and they've played with it non-stop and the batteries have lasted... the thing has survived the brutal play of 3 boys and they've been fighting over it. Would highly reco this product.
