Toys and Games Reviews of Doodle Pro Glow
Customer Review: There is still a way to get some use!
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter received as a present at 3 years old. It was frustrating to have to scrub the screen constantly and dry it and then of course the markers that stain.
So I took away the markers.
I gave her a bottle of cheap lotion and a paint brush and also let her finger paint with the lotion.
She would use a damp wash cloth to wipe it down herself and start all over.
Although not exactly colorful, it still was entertaining enough for her. The lotion had almost a black light effect and would glow enough to keep her entertained for awhile, at least not as seriously messy as finger- painting or any paint for that matter.
So, the product and how you are supposed to use it, is poorly made and cheap for it's overpriced tag.
Would have been a great toy and it is a great idea, but as is now- disappointing.
Customer Review: My Children LUV it!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, YES the markers stain, so keep that in mind when having your children sit down to play with this. The GOOD news is that the stains DO come out. For those of you having problems try adding whatever clothing is stained to a bucket of HOT water... Pour 1/4th -1/2 cup of Hydrogen Peroxide into the bucket and let sit for 30-45 minutes. The stains DO come out.. This product is EXCELLENT for pre-schoolers who have an interest in drawing. I LOVE the trace mechanism on this and quite frankly it's one of the best "Trace" teaching tools i've seen. The children LOVE the "flourescent" look and it's been hard to get this away from them! You can also add pictures for them to draw by making your own..... Just use a white crayon or marker to highlight the picture and voila you have more pictures...Customer Review: Very Disappointing!
Summary: 1 Stars
As others have said, this is a neat concept, but in reality, it doesn't work that great. After drawing on it, you wet a sponge to erase it. Think about a small child wetting a sponge. It ends up a dripping mess! Then they end up with runny marker all over their hands, which ends up on their clothes, etc. We're good about watching the kids, too. You really have to take control of the sponge and make sure the board is wiped properly before the kids use it. The other thing is that none of the colors glowed very well and the kids stopped using it after only a couple of days. Just a very disappointing gift. Fisher Price should have stuck with the original Doodle Pro... my kids have had it for a year and still use it!Customer Review: Annoying to Keep Clean
Summary: 2 Stars
My daughter is 4 years old and LOVES to trace so I decided to by her the Doodle Pro Glow. From the outside it looked like a snap to wipe clean, what a mistake! First you have to make sure that your child does not smear the marker (which stains) all over the place, second they provide you with a tiny sponge (not the same as the picture on the box)and you have to wash it clean after every stroke across the board. I don't know about you but I get tired of running back and fourth trying to keep it clean. Third you then have to wipe the board clean with a dry cloth since the wet sponge never gets all of it off.
Take my advice and pass up this toy and go for the simple Doodle Pro, much easier all around.
Customer Review: Great fun for children 5+
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the Manufacturer Recommended Age for this toy is incorrect. Instead of 36 month to 6 years, it should be 5+ years. My 5-year-old boy really love to draw using this toy. Throw away the included sponge and buy a pack of cheap baby wipe instead. Clean up is easy using the baby wipes. My son also has the Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board. It is a similar product. The recommended ago for Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board is 6+ years. Fisher Price should really market this product for older kids. The glowing effedt is really cool. The included tracing mats are really helpful. The Fisher Price makers are higher quality than the Crayola makers and last longer.
