Cra-Z-Art MagnaDoodle Mini Doodler – Magnetic Drawing Board with Detachable Pen (Not Attached), Portable Kids Sketch Pad, Mess-Free Travel Art Toy for Ages 3+

Bought as a Christmas gift for a 4 year old boy and he loves it.

Bought this for a flight with my 3year old granddaughter. It was the perfect size for travel and it works well. It kept her happy and busy! Good price on this.

I wanted to buy the small magna doodle so I could stick it in my purse to keep my grandson occupied on outings. My one-year-old granddaughter got her hands on it and dismantled it in 5 seconds. I bought a replacement and on the very first use, it won't fully erase the drawing. A total piece of junk. Also, it doesn't have a string attached to the pen so you have to be careful not to lose it. I wish I could find a high-quality version that's the same size.

They're only $4, so I'm not too upset, but I was expecting more from name brand. The plastic is flimsy and the pieces come apart very easily. Every time one of them is dropped, the face falls off and has to be clicked back in. On the other one, one of the side pieces keeps coming off and I realized when putting it back on that it has to be askew to stay on. I'm going to have to glue everything down, I think. Hopefully the plastic itself holds up to my young children. The worst thing was there was no connecting string for the pen, even though it clearly had holes where the string should be. (I bought two and they were the same, so I don't think it was an error in packaging.) I used some string I had at home and had to use super glue to get it to stay on the pens. Hopefully that will work, because the pens are tiny, easy to lose, and very swallowable. The best thing is that magnets in the pens are good and write very well on the boards. An off-brand board I bought before did not have a good pen, so this was very nice. The eraser is fine on one of the boards, but the other one barely erases and the marks are just faded unless I work at it a bit. Maybe I can fix it somehow, or get a stronger magnet strip. They do slide very easily, which is great for little kids. My 18 month old and nearly 4 year old were very excited and, once I worked out the strings for the pens, were happy with them. Next time I'll probably just pay a bit more to hopefully get a better product, but these aren't bad enough for the price to return them.

I grew up loving my maganadoodle, and my husband and daughter and I travel a lot, so I thought this might be good for entertaining my toddler. She’s really enjoys it at home, may be a bit young for it (20 months). My only complaint is there is no string attaching the “pen” to the board and it is so small so it’s very easy to lose especially in the car.

Another gift my Granddaughter loves

The pencil is not connected in any way on this magna doodle! Its very small, so nice for travel. However the pencil was so small, 2 inches long, and if you dont put it in the holder, good luck finding it again. I was unable to find a way to attach the pencil to the tablet, and just decided to return. The screen doesn't fully erase clean, residue is always left, light grey bits behind. Overall, would not recommend, find another brand. The large tablet size, however, is nice. So its a disappointment the travel size is so terrible.

Bought for my 2 year old for some travel. It is such a fun activity, and fits great in a small toddler backpack. My son loved scribbling and erasing or having me erase for him. It’s light, and fun colored. It’s a great item for the pricey, and great as an add on gift.

Es pequeño, pero lo interesante es la superficie para dibujar, es lisa, en otros pizarrones es un poco áspera, pero en este pizarrón dibujar o escribir tiene más fluidez. Contra: La pluma se separa, si la pierdes ya no la recuperas, no viene unida, además de que es demasiado pequeña. El precio es un poco elevado, lo vi después más barato en otra marca. Venía ya casi abierto.
