Great toy but must use the Crayola Dry Erase Markers, November 26, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
Fabulous toy and Crayola has great customer service. My children love doodling and now writing on this toy.
But, don't make the mistake of using other dry erase brand markers on this surface though as you may find that it does not want to come off! I made this mistake as I could not find these markers at a store (as another reviewer mentioned, these markers are difficult to find.) We used an Expo dry erase and another brand that I had bought from Target and they did not come off. We tried dish soap and rubbing alcohol and a lot of elbow grease. Then I read on the internet that someone suggested draw over the area that you want to erase and erase immediately.
What worked for us ultimately is drawing over the lines that would not erase with a newish Crayola dry erase marker, one that had lots of ink in it, and then using the eraser to wipe it off. We had to do this many times before the other dry erase lines were removed. Now you can't see the lines anymore.
We found that you can use the Crayola dry erase markers on this product and other true dry erase boards but you can't use other brand markers on this plastic surface - the ink is absorbed into the plastic.

Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center, May 20, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
Bought this for my 2 year old son for a church activity. He LOVES it. It is really great that he can use it on his own for coloring and when he is a bit older will be a great tool to learn the alphabet. Seems quite durable so far.

FANTASTIC learning tool!!!, March 29, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
I have a K-5 little girl that LOVES it! We got it to help with her handwriting which it did but then realized that the cards they give you are standard paper size. Now we use it to slip in practice sheets like math, telling time, etc. FANTASTIC learning tool!

Daughter loves it but don't use dry erase cleaner on it, December 5, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
Our preschool daughter LOVES this activity center so much and it will surely help develop her writing skills. Just don't use dry erase cleaner on this...we did and now have to buy a new one because it trashed the screen.

Do not hesitate, order this now! My son loves it., October 10, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
My 5 year old son was about to start Kindergarten this fall, he's a bright kid, but did not want to learn to write or spell, ec. He'd rather run around and play than work on his letters. Who can blame him! I ordered this item, it came, and from day one he took to it like no other toy he's ever owned. Literally within a week he was writing all of his letters, and a little while later all of his numbers. He started kindergarten with a month's worth of playing on this writing board. I know it has helped him tremendously. I think kids at first dont want to learn things out of lack of confidence in their abilities. This educational toy gave my son a sense of accomplishment. Every time he fills the letters in he beams with pride. He always wants to work on this thing, even when the television is on. We write at breakfast, after school, and sometimes in bed at night. I'm ordering a second one just to have as backup. It's that worthy. Cheers.

Great!, June 17, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
My kids reading tutor would bring this over for lessons and my kids both loved it.
I bought one for each of my kids and at night we do all of our lessons on it.
It has many different base papers to choose from so you can do the alphabet, numbers, or just a plain paper for doodling and such.
It's my stock gift for the younger crowd... I give it to many 4-5 year olds.

GREAT TOY TO LEARN TO WRITE!!, December 5, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
My daughter got this as a gift for her 5th birthday and LOVES it. She writes on it everyday. Even though she already knows her alphabet and numbers, this helps her to get the practice she needs and has fun while doing it. She has learned to write her name perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone with a pre-K or Kindergarten age child.

Great toy...and no batteries needed!, July 25, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
I ordered this for my 4 year old daughter, and then ordered 4 more to give as birthday gifts. The activity center is perfect for quiet time at home, in the car, or at a sibling's athletic game. It allows them to practice all sorts of things (letters, numbers) and also has a blank page so they can practice free drawing. Just make sure to clear the board completely each time. If the marker sits on it for too long, it is hard to get off.

I like it & so does my daughter, June 16, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
This item is great. It is helping my daughter learn how to write her alphabets & numbers & recognize which letters & numbers are which. She is still a little to young to play the other games but she tries & she enjoys it. This was a great buy for me & my daughter, I would recommand buying this for your child.

Awesome toy, February 19, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center (Toy)
My son loves this and the only problem is that his brothers and sisters want to use it all the time too! Very affordable and not one of those things you are always having to by replacements for (like more paper, etc.) If the markers do get lost you can just use any dry erase marker!
