Arts Reviews

My six year old daughter loved these posters. She and her sister colored them for hours and hours. You can even help them add glitter or sequins to the posters afterwards to make them look even more like the Bratz girls.

What I love about this kit is that it comes with everything that a little artist needs. The portfolio part is a wonderful added touch, they can place their art in it, and present it to you like a gallery showing. I really love that they are starting to create items like this showcase young artists. It is a wonderful start to a life time art.

We have purchased several knock-off doodle boards at B--Lots over the last 2 years for use at home, in the car, and at both Grammy & Nana's houses. My son (now 3-1/2) loves to draw & the doodle boards really save on paper. The cheaper versions are not nearly as sturdy as these, and the cheap pens are of inferior quality, too. We finally broke down & bought this duo-pack for $20 to replace his main drawing board that had cracked through on the eraser part of the frame. We haven't had this set long enough for me to comment on its durability, but it LOOKS far sturdier than the flimsy plastic ones we've used (with much joy) until now. My son likes the smoothness of this drawing surface, compared to the other knock-off versions, too. As a pleasant bonus, having two boards lets us really practice his numbers & letters. I write an example on the little board & he practices on the larger board at his own pace without frustration since he can just erase until the shape is right. This is a toy that gets use every single day, and keeps him contented while we run errands, too. In fact, the thought when I picked up this set was that we'd keep one in the car & one at home, but no!! Our 11-month old daughter now can't get enough of the Doodle Pro!! This version has a safer pen than the cheap kinds (with a tip that retracts with pressure), so I feel she isn't in danger of gouging her eye out! As you can see if you check out the pictures I am posting, buying the "Doodle Pro Basic - Blue with Bonus Travel Doodle Pro - Red" lets them play side-by-side without squabbling over the board! Who knew!?!

Yes, you heard me right. She's thrown this thing against everything, and it has yet to break. Automatically gets an "A" in my book.

Magna Doodles are the best thing to take on road trips. It's the only thing that keeps her entertained! I don't know where I'd be without it.

My 20 month old twins have had this toy for about 2 months. They both absolutely love it. It only took a little teaching to get them to understand they could draw and erase. They love drawing by themselves and drawing with mom or dad's help and practicing shapes, letters and numbers. The travel size is great for keeping in the car.
