Great toy for my toddler!!!

My daughter received this for Christmas, and she was 19 months old. She LOVES it!!! She will play with it for hours. I didn't have the problems the other people have with the pen. She can use it just fine. My husband and I can both write with it just fine. My daughter loves to make the shapes move. If you can get the shapes in the right spot on the board, the magnetic remover will actually make the shapes move across the board while you erase it. I have purchased this for a few children after getting it for my daughter.

pen doesn't work

I was very disappointed with this product. My 2 1/2 yr. old twins got this toy for Christmas & were very frustrated with it because the pen doesn't work if you hold it at an angle. You must hold the pen straight for it to work. My 5 yr. old didn't like it either. I ended up returning the toy for a different magna doodle with a better pen.

Good idea

We purchased this for our 19 month old because he loves to use pens and crayons. However, the pen on this doodle pro is hard to use unless you hold it straight up and down, not at an angle. The tip of the pen is to far in unlike a regular magna doodle. I would recommend just buying a normal magna doodle, not this little people version. Another thing is that the string attaching the pen seems to short.
