Customer Review: So fun...!
Summary: 3 Stars
We got this for our son for a trip we went on. We would be driving in the dark, so his MagnaDoodle would be useless. It turned out to be a great toy for him, though I did think it would not be long lasting. It reminded me of the neon sketch toys from when I was a kid where you would draw on it and the plastic stuck to the backing, showing your image brighter. It works in a similiar way, but much better.
You turn the light on, draw on the screen, and it shows up very easily, even in daylight (indoors). You press the button in on top to erase. The button pushes the hard plastic away from the plastic film, erasing the image. While my son (nearly four) had no problem erasing, often the images on the bottom of the screen (closest to the backing) were difficult to erase. He would give it to me and I would have to hold the button it until it erased. After only a week of occasional use, the hard plastic backing (connected to the erase button) cracked while erasing. I can't say I was shocked but I certainly expected this to last more than a week!
This is a fun toy that everybody - even the adults - found to be compelling to pick up if it is sitting there, but one week is a very short time for a toy to last. One other thing...The light stays on until you turn it off. I wish it had an auto-off feature. If they fix the breaking problem, I would highly recommend it!
Update: I e-mailed the company concerning my problem. They called me on the phone within ten minutes. This is the second time I have had to contact Spinmaster's customer service and they are friendly, understanding, and will most definitely find a way to make the situation right. They had FedEx pick up the broken one and are sending a brand new one. This company is great!
Description of Glodoodle Board Assortment
The GloDoodle is an innovative drawing pad that allows children to create sketches with colorful light, using only the touch of their finger. Designed for kids age three and older, the GloDoodle is completely mess-free: just touch your finger or the included stylus to the screen, and colored light appears. The screen is completely transparent allowing you to trace anything, from photographs to faces. Featuring three different colors of light, the GloDoodle is an enjoyable, mess-free way for kids to experience art. The GloDoodle allows your kids to create mess-free drawings that glow in the dark! View larger. A Magic Drawing Pad With a size comparable to a Magna-Doodle, the GloDoodle is compact and easy to transport -- ideal for a long car ride. The mechanism behind the drawing pad is simple. Its screen is a tightly-pulled plastic sheet, which indents when in is touched. When the pad's LED light is switched on, it reflects off of these indentations and creates color. The screen is very sensitive, and even a gentle brush of the finger will show up in beautifully-colored light. The drawings also glow in the dark, allowing your child to doodle at night, too. When they are done drawing, your kids can erase their creations with the push of the "magic erase" button. The button pulls the screen taut, erasing any indentation. It works, but it is sometimes difficult to push in all the way, so small children may have trouble erasing their pictures completely. Inspires Creative Thinking As a visual arts tool, the GloDoodle is surprisingly versatile. It features three different colors of light (red, yellow and green) and can simulate both drawing and painting. Kids can use the included stylus to make fine, pencil-like drawings. Or, they can smudge the screen with their fingers for a smooth, paintbrush effect. The translucent tracing screen expands their artistic options even more. Expect the GloDoodle to provide your kid with hours of artistic fun.The GloDoodle is an innovative drawing pad that allows children to create sketches with colorful light, using only the touch of their finger.
