Our Editorial Review
Product Description Here's a drawing pad that young doodlers can take everywhere. With an erasable board, they can sketch to their heart's delight, drawing pictures of whatever they see and then starting all over again. A magnetized pencil helps kids and mom keep track of the drawing tool. Four stamp magnets—a bunny, pup, kitty and chick—can become part of the picture on the drawing board or used with paper for cute stamped pictures and creative coloring. Has a convenient carrying handle. A Play + Learn toy from Parents Magazine.

Manufacturer must have made changes Posted 27 December 2008
This was one of my 15-month-old granddaughter's Christmas gifts and she loves it. We haven't experienced any of the problems descibed in other reviews. The ladybug erases both up and down, is easy to move, and doesn't make any noise. The "images" she draws are very clear and the animal magnets stay in position securely but are easy to remove for "stamping". Great toy ... her uncle & dad had a good time with it, too!
Great Toy For A Toddler! Posted 19 December 2008
My 20 month old daughter just received this as an early Christmas present and she LOVES it! We have no problems with the ladybug. She can move it all by herself and it erases both ways. Reading the reviews, I wonder if they fixed the problem in a newer model? In any case, I'd definitely recommend this toy. It's kept her quiet and busy for 20 minutes straight now!
Nephew loves his sister's gift! Posted 14 December 2008
Bought this from Target for my 18 mo. old niece. She likes it, but her four year old brother loves it! No one had the problem with the ladybug slide (perhaps that was fixed?), although it was tricky sometimes removing the animal shaped stampers. The kids will be traveling and this is an easy item to play with and transport on the plane.
Good, but could stand improvement Posted 02 December 2008
I bought this toy a month or two ago for my 20-month-old son. The issue with the ladybug that many reviewers have mentioned no longer seems to be a problem; at least on our board it slides back and forth easily and my son has no problem with it. It erases in both directions, and there's no loud grinding noise or anything.
My pet peeve is with the magnetic stamps. They are so tightly wedged into the board that my son can't remove them on his own, and they are hard for even me to get out unless I pull on them exactly the right way. Further proving the point, we took this toy to my parents' house over Thanksgiving, and my son tried to play with it with them one evening while my husband and I were out. Not knowing that the animal shapes at the top were removable, my parents tugged on them a bit and finally gave up, deciding that they weren't meant to be removed. It seems to me that in a toy designed for 2-year-olds, they could have come up with a method of magnet storage that the kids could manipulate on their own -- for example, having the top be magnetic so that the magnets would 'stick' in their appropriate spots, without being gripped so hard that they can't be removed.
That said, my son does enjoy this toy. He likes to scribble with the pen and play with the shapes the magnets make.
I want one for me, too Posted 12 October 2008
My mother in law purchased this for my son's 2nd birthday this year. We haven't had any problems with the lady bug eraser movement. Of course, my son is a bit of a bruiser. We have really enjoyed drawing pictures together (rather than on my walls!) The impression the animal magnets leave on the board are a bit disappointing, but as a drawing pad, we really like it.
