5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Doodle Pro November 8, 2005

By V. Hester

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I was surprised to find Doodle Pros everywhere and no Magna Doodles in stores, so I thought, why not, I'll get a Doodle Pro. I promptly returned it. Obviously they do not use high quality magnets in the Doodle Pro as they do in the Magna Doodle because the lines are not nearly as dark or as satisfying to make. The stamps are equally disappointing and leave only faint marks. The eraser bar is also very hard to drag across and does not fully erase unless you drag it back and forth. I love my Magna Doodle it is obviously a much higher quality of toy, dark rich lines, easy erasure. My only complaint is that the stamps fall out, but we always manage to find them. I would also mention that the age range seems too high to me. My two year old loves this and I love it because it is a good way to practice scribbling without mess.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for every child!!! October 15, 2006

By Jen VINE™ VOICE

I, too, had a hard time finding Magna Doodle in stores. Everyone had Doodle Pros and nothing more, but I intended to hold out for the Magna Doodle and I'm so glad I did! My 18-month-old son absolutely loves it!! Within minutes he had figured out how to draw and erase all by himself and he played with it for over an hour! That is a rare occurence for my child who rarely sits down for anything! He happily took the shape magnets out and put them back in their slots one at a time and scribbled to his little heart's content. He thought it was hilarious when I traced his foot for him and soon he was trying to trace everything! It's an excellent, no mess drawing toy for little ones. We have an Aquadoodle as well, and he enjoys that too but something about the Magna Doodle has him entranced! I considered getting a travel size for him instead of the standard size, but for a few dollars more this one is much bigger but still appropriate size for travel, in my opinion. I also wanted to point out that we have no problem keeping our shape magnets in their respective slots. There are small grooves inside that will allow you to snap the pieces in place and we can tip ours upside down and shake it around and they all stay put. You do have to push a bit firmly but my 18-month-old didn't have much trouble getting them to stay. Highly recommended!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought 2 more November 3, 2006

By Jenni

I got this as a gift from a relative, the older version, a few years ago for my son at age 2. It lasted quite a while. I have a van and I would just put in under the seat to store and brought it out when he wanted to draw. Downside, the stamps where easily lost and after a while of being pounded on, the picture doesn't clear so nicely. Last Christmas we went and got 2 new ones for my son and daughter. They both love them. We take them in the car or leave them in their rooms. They are constantly playing with them. I use them to practice alphabet and numbers. And my kids just like drawing on them. Daddy has inproved in his drawing skills too. He's best artwork is on the Magna Doodle.

4.0 out of 5 stars 17 month old loves it! May 21, 2007

This toy is great. Yes the little magnetic shapes fall out very easily, but it's really not a big deal. My daughter loves this, she loves scribbling and erasing. Keeps her busy. She always returns to play with it after leaving it for a while, so definitely not a boring toy. She loves to just carry it around the house too. Good for teaching how to write her name, letters etc. without the mess of crayons (for her age). You won't regret buying this toy!! I would say the age limit is for 16 months - adult LOL, because everyone seems to play with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mini Version is Great for Little Ones April 17, 2006

By Lydia's Mommy

Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

My daughter is nearly [...] and she loves her magna doodle. She likes drawing, but whenever we got the crayons out she'd spend more time trying to eat them and breaking them, than actually coloring with them. Plus, she's still learning how to press down hard enough when she draws to make her crayons really show up. Of course, she's only capable of scribbles now, but the magna doodle is great for that. We've got the mini version, that has no stamps to loose, and it can actually be clipped onto her diaper bag so we have it wherever we go. Most of all, we enjoy having her sit on our laps as she watches us draw simple pictures, and then we ask her what the picture is (kitty, kite, flower, house, etc.), and then we just swipe and draw a new one. We've even started using it to teach letters, numbers and shapes. She really seems to enjoy it.

Our magna doodle is aged 3 and up, and I imagine it is because of the string that keeps the pen attached. It could be a strangulation hazard, so we always supervise our daughter with her magna doodle. And we have to make sure she never steps on it or damages the screen in any way. Occassionally, the screen needs several swipes before it clears up, but that is no big deal.

Got this for my 4 year old grandson, he just loves this, he had a smaller one, however this one is far more entertaining, so far it is standing up very well, the only draw back are the stamps on the left side don't stay locked in very well.

4.0 out of 5 stars quiet toy that leaves no mess January 10, 2007

By S. Deshotel

My 2yr. old son loves it. And I love it too because it makes no noise, requires no batteries, and won't leave marks on the wall like crayons. The little shape magnets that come with it are already lost. But other than that this is a timeless classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy! January 10, 2007

I love this original magna doodle because it is easy for my son to slide the eraser bar across. Some of the newer versions have a "motorized" eraser bar which is too hard for his two-year-old hands to operate. This one he can play with all by himself without getting frustrated! I give it a four because someimes the little shape pieces fall easily out of their slots and I'm sure that we're going to lose them altogether sooner or later. I wish their slots were a bit deeper to hold them in better. But otherwise, this is a GREAT toy!
