I can review this one very quickly after receiving it. Although it's intended for young children, and it will indeed end up in the hands of my three year old granddaughter, I left it with my adult son to see what he could do with it. I've attached some photographs, of which more in a moment.Many years ago I can remember something similar to this, where the lines you could draw were quite wide and the resulting picture not very detailed. This board is advertised as being able to make finer lines, which should be a bonus. What you get to achieve this is a pen (it's all done with magnets, by the way) and a little star that you plonk down,and then a button attached to a slider which you draw across the screen to erase the image when you've had enough of it. The whole thing feels well made, and the pen is attached by a cord so you can't lose it. The star is held in place by a couple of little clips which, perversely, are so tight that whilst it does it's job the temptation must be to remove it and never put it back. And then you lose it.So, looking at the pictures, you'll see what you can do with it all. And you may notice the first problem, which is that while you can indeed draw finer lines, the next time you go near them to draw something else, the first lines begin to blur. Look at the eyes in this case. Of course, the obvious thing to say is - why would a 3 year old care about that? And they wouldn't, but that isn't the point. They advertise this as being a high quality screen, and really it isn't as good as all that. But it's good enough for a child.Then you decide to erase it, and almost nothing happens! At least it won't if you're 3 and you zip the slider quickly to the other side of the screen. If you're older, you'll do it slowly and it'll work after a couple of goes. But it's not satisfactory.I'm a bit underwhelmed by it all. Ideally I'd have let my granddaughter use this before reviewing, but due to upcoming holidays and so on I won't be seeing her until the beginning of December which is leaving it too late. If I find out that her experience is different, I'll call back and update this.*EDIT. I managed to sneak in an extra visit with our granddaughter, and our 8 year old grandson. I've upgraded the rating by a star, because I had forgotten just how uncritical children can be. The girl was more than happy to sit on grandma's knee and fill the entire screen with black, erase it and then start again. The boy would ask what I wanted him to draw, do it, rub it out, and then try something else. At no point did either of them complain that "Granddad, have you noticed that it can get a little blurry on some of the more detailed areas?" Adults can be such idiots. Four stars, no worries.

This drawing board really took me back to when my daughter was little. Scribbling onto a board and erasing it over and over again, no need for pens and paper, no chance of ruining your carpet with stray felt tip pens.The lines you draw are thinner than cheaper boards and the star shaped stamper is a nice addition but I would have liked a few more shapes. I’d also like to see a bit more colour on the screen, an all grey drawing is a bit dull and other boards seem to have found a way to incorporate this into their products.You have to use the slider a few times to erase the picture but it does clear completely, ready for the next masterpiece.The board is small and light enough for little hands to manage and will help to keep your child occupied on car journeys.The pen is attached to the board with a string so at least you can’t lose it, unlike the star which will eventually find its way under the settee or get carried away but the cat or dog.I’m a bit confused why this is more expensive than the bigger board with more shapes, very strange, it doesn’t seem to have any special features that differentiate between them, other than being smaller.It’s more expensive than similar boards available and whilst the drawings you make are clearer I don’t think this will matter to your average toddler.Hope you found my review helpful

This is good quality, sturdy and solid; my daughter already has a Magnadoodle version of this type of toy which I found to be quite disappointing, flimsy and the resolution was really heavily pixelated. The quality of this megasketcher seems better, it feels much more solid and easy for little hands to hold, and the resolution is really good, not at all blotchy which makes it easier to draw finer details as the lines don't bleed as much.The lines are quite faint though, they don't contrast as boldly against the background which isnt as satisfying for my daughter (shes only 3 though). Also some of the lines start to fade a bit, especially the ones drawn at the beginning of a picture,but it's not a huge deal as these can be drawn over again, and its not going to bother a younger child who just wants to scribble.Overall this is a nice sketcher that functions well and should go down well with younger children especially.

Who doesn’t love to draw?! With fond memories of Etch-A-Sketch and similar products from my youth, this is a nostalgic treat and great practical toy in one!The magnetic Megasketcher is great for doodling, scribbling and writing on, with a built-in pen to help little ones practice pen-holding as well as a stamper shape. When the artwork is complete, the slider bar at the bottom clears the image, ready for the fun to start all over again!As you would expect from TOMY, the product is well made from quality materials that are sure to stand up to even the roughest play!One point to note though: if your child is left-handed they might find it tricky to use the product as the string on the pen isn’t the longest.It isn’t impossible, but does make it a bit more difficult.All in all, though, a great toy that’s the perfect gift and a good size for taking with you on the go.

This is an old favourite, I remember having one of these when I was a child and the idea is still going strong. I had originally planned to give this to my Grandaughter but as she is already favouring her left hand it just isn’t suitable, the string on the pen doesn’t stretch far enough. This is a problem that we have encountered again and again and toy manufacturers still don’t get the fact that not all people use their right hand. Two out of my three children are lefties. It is good quality and is a great idea for when you’re travelling and you don’t want the children glued to a screen. Easy to use and good fun.

As the basic small sketch pad this works pretty well and is good fine - reasonably precise though not brilliant and also takes a few tries to clear using the swipe. The included star is a nice tough but i think it should have had a few more. Good fun to draw with and a good way to pass a bit of time or to use as an impromptu message sharing device. Pretty good - not perfect, but not bad.

My son loves this doodle magnetic board from tomy very easy to use unlike other magnetic doodle board that is very difficult to erase and the writing is still there but this works fine and its quite sturdy to be honest.

My son loves these. He's still practicing writing his letters etc and he has been using this to do that.It is a good size and seems to be really good quality. Great price. Highly recommend as a gift for kids.

Have been struggling to get my 3 year old to sit and draw/colour and this has helped. It is a classic for a reason, it manages to hold his attention marginally longer and loves erasing his mistakes. Great toy
