This product, while excellent for a 3 to 5 year old, is unfortunately nothing like the commercial or pictures on the packaging. It is nearly impossible to create a clear image even using the templates provided. There is no way to have no-light or black. All of the colors run together preventing the child from creating any real image. This is definitely a try before you buy item requiring 4 D batteries for operation.

I can sum up my review of this product in four simple words: "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!". The 'ONLY' thing good I can say for this awful product is for the duriblity. After it has been thrown on the floor 'several' times in total frustration by my daughter (whom I purchased this for after she pleaded for it!) it still works. However she no longer even glances at it now, let alone plays with it! Do not be suckered in like my daughter and I were by the T.V. commercials, this product is NOT anywhere as easy and/or fun as the commercials make it appear. Again, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

My daughter received this for her birthday and we were all totally disappointed. It does not work like it shows on the commercials. Colors hard to change and they don't change to the correct color. Junk! Don't bother buying it.

I was very disappointed in this itme. I purchased this item for my daughter and she did not play with it for very long. The item does not work as seen on tv or even on the box. It is nearly impossible to make pictures the way they are advertised...

Good thing my spouse actually tried one of these before Christmas, otherwise my kids would have thought Santa was playig a cruel joke. Sorry to say, but this product is an absolute zero. I could only imagine my kids frustration when they spent hours positioning each peg and then went insane when they bumped the board and had to start all over. Looks great until you try it. What was the manufacturer thinking!?!?

This product is awful. It works nothing like the advertisement or the picture on the box. I would not recommend this to anyone.

This toy is junk. It does not work at all as advertised. The picture on the box and the images on TV, show a clear picture, showing that you can do so many "neat" things with it. You can't. My daughter has to lay on her belly with the lights out to make this somewhat work. She bought it with her birthday money (she's 4) and refuses to let me return it. I am saving the box and hoping she changes her mind. I even called the company to complain, they think it works great & say it is because of my daughter's age, not being old enough to work it properly. They could not think of a good response when I told them it doesn't work for her 31 year old mother either!!! Save your money.

I purchased this product because I thought my four year old daughter would love this item. I felt it was a great alternative to the Light Bright (no need to worry about pegs all over the house). Unfortunately, it doesn't work like the packaging cover or the commercial. It is nearly impossible to recreate the pictures displayed on the commercial. It's hard to see the lights and manipulate the spectra light board. Don't waste your time. You're better off purchasing the original Light Bright or Magna Doodle.

I also thought it would be a good alternative to LiteBrite but I was so wrong! I works nothing like it shows on commercials. I bought it for my 4 year-old daughter and thought maybe she was doing something wrong. So, I tried it, my 13 year-old nephew tried it and it did not work ANY better for us. ...

This product is horrible. If you want something with lights, stick with the light brite. The pegs on this thing do not move easily, especially with the pen the manufacturer supplied. you can use your finger but unless you take pain staking aim, you will never achieve the color you want. The pegs move all over the place when you place a template on it and most of all, you never get to start with a black screen. My child lost 20.00 on a gift certificate with this terribly made toy. Obviously the commercial is computer generated. It will be a door stop very shortly.
