Customer Reviews
Great toy, definitely recommend it
I think having a doodle is definitely good if you have a toddler at home. Initially my daughter would ask me to draw stuff on it...as I was showing her how to use it. She would ask me to draw fish, car, elephant etc and I will have her erase it. It got her used to one aspect. After about couple weeks, she herself started doodling in it and erased as she doodled as well.
Pros:
- great tool to have around
- beats writing on walls and carpets etc
- you can join the fun and draw/write as well
Cons:
- I would have preferred the string to be attached to the bottom right or left, on top and over the screen is a bit intrusive (check other models)
- you may need to practice drawing some of the animals your kid asks...cow, dinosaur etc...
Fun for toddlers
In order to boost my two year old daughter's creativity, I bought her this Doodle.
I have seen similar doodle's with all my friend's kids and it looked fun.
After some research I got "Doodle Pro Classic" and let my daughter on a rampage.
She is very excited with this product and spends quality time on it.
This thing is rock solid and has survived all kind of abuses a toddler can throw.
Only annoyance is that the position of magnetic pen is on top which is kind of uncomfortable. It should have been on bottom or on side.
Please make sure to practice some animal sketches before buying this as kids are more interested in looking at someone draw rather then do it themselves. :)
Fun!!!
I would recommend this toy. I'd also recommend the smaller travel version for long car rides. My son likes it. He's now 2 so he's not a real saavy drawer but he loves telling us what to draw. I'd brush up on your art skills if your child is 3 or below.
