Doodle Pro Basic Color - Translucent Orange - J5602

I puchased this item for my daughter when she was 2 years old. She was globally delayed (speech, walking, fine/gross motor skills, etc...). Every night of her life, we sat on the couch together and I would draw/write the letters of the alphabet and numbers and she learned to speak those items. Her job was to erase the board when we needed to, of course. She learned how to write her name, READ, add, and draw on this Magnadoodle board. She's 5 years old now and academically beyond the children in her class (K). I credit this to she and I sitting down every night and utilizing this wonderful toy that she took a liking to. This is a wonderful toy and I have recommended it to every person I know who has delayed or developmentally disabled children. Hard work and a toy can make a difference. :o) This is STILL her favorite toy in the house.

Another product we bought after our son broke his foot. Alhtough this product says it's for ages 3 and up (implying toddlers), our son is 5 and he's playing with all the time! We were looking for toys that he could play with that encouraged him to sit still since his foot was broken and this was another great choice. Even my 11 yr old sat with him and played tic-tac-toe with him...and if you think finding something they can do togehter is easy, think again! Anyway, it was a great purcahse and I assume even after his foot is all better this will make its way into the van and it'll be a great travel toy! All in all, it was a great purcahse- even for a five year old!!!

We purchased the same, exact model of this toy at Walmart for $15. I can't believe they are asking $50 here. I see nothing different or any extra features that would constitute the higher price. With that being said, We got this for our then 2yr. old and she loved it instantly. She is now 3 1/2 yrs. and still loves it. Ours has been played with to death and is still going strong. All in all this is a great toy!!
