There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The only thing I am worried about is the little tab that holds the paper in, so far it has done fine, but it's so small I'm worried that one day I'll break it, or when my son discovers it that he will, then keeping that paper in will be more tricky.
So far I love it and I can see us using it for many years. Well worth the price.
But, don't make the mistake of using other dry erase brand markers on this surface though as you may find that it does not want to come off! I made this mistake as I could not find these markers at a store (as another reviewer mentioned, these markers are difficult to find.) We used an Expo dry erase and another brand that I had bought from Target and they did not come off. We tried dish soap and rubbing alcohol and a lot of elbow grease. Then I read on the internet that someone suggested draw over the area that you want to erase and erase immediately.
What worked for us ultimately is drawing over the lines that would not erase with a newish Crayola dry erase marker, one that had lots of ink in it, and then using the eraser to wipe it off. We had to do this many times before the other dry erase lines were removed. Now you can't see the lines anymore.
We found that you can use the Crayola dry erase markers on this product and other true dry erase boards but you can't use other brand markers on this plastic surface - the ink is absorbed into the plastic.
He traces letters and shapes in the air, so I suggested my parents get him this. He has seriously played with it nonstop since he received it.
Pros:
Teaches child to properly hold a writing utensil to achieve the best grip and stability.
Several fun activities to engage your child to trace and perfect penmanship.
Comes with double-tipped markers that easily come off walls and furniture.
Instructions on downloading and printing additional activities to add to what comes with this kit.
Cons:
Mundane. If it weren't for the "print more stuff" feature, I would have easily rated this 4 stars. Needs more original content but, easily remedied.
Overall- this kit is awesome. My son loves it and even despite the new Nerf Gun he has sitting next to him, he's still tracing stuff on his Crayola Dry Erase Activity Board!
