My 6 year old nephew is home schooled and he loves to use the play and trace to write his alphabet. A small flaw is the drawing pin. It's a bit to slim for him to grip it comfortably so he continues to flex his fingers between drawings. All in all he uses the game daily.
Im going to date myself here by saying when I was little my grandmother would buy me a grocery store treat if I was good. One of the things I liked a lot was the sketch toy. It was maybe 6 x 9 piece of cardboard with a thin coat of black waxiness which was covered with a piece of white opaque film. It came with a stylus or pencil and I could draw goofy pictures on it. When I wanted to start fresh I would life the film up from the black coating underneath and the picture would disappear! I'd start a fresh picture. It was inexpensive didn't last long but bought adults a few hours of child-free time (cheaper than a babysitter!) Fast forward to 2022 and the JOT Kids writing tablet!Same principle but much better- more attractive durable sophisticated. It costs more than the toy from my day but it lasts longer and is definitely much cooler. It comes with a stylus that snaps into the frame when not in use. The drawing surface is black and the drawing appears in dayglo green (at least on my model- there are different themed Tablets- color may vary by theme.) Best of all? When you want to erase just push a button at the top of the Tablet and everything disappears leaving a pristine drawing surface for your next creation. It's a huge hit in my house and Ive had to buy additonal Tablets to keep the peace. Because it's so light durable and convenient I have one for myself that I keep in a kitchen drawer. I write my spur of the moment grocery items on it. Then when Im ready to shop I take a phone pic of the list and go shopping. Like it's ancient predecessor the cardboard toy of the 1970's this is endless for for kids with imagination or parents who want to keep track of to-do items or grocery needs only this model is much cooler. Literally fun for the whole family!
This is a way better purchase than the drawing boards on Amazon. We ordered those first and they broke in literally 5 minutes. These are much more durable and I am thinking about ordering one for myself! My kids love them.
This was a early gift for my nieces. They are pretty good at sharing with each other and both enjoy doodling/drawing. Shipped quickly. The only reason for giving the boogie board sketch pals doodle board four stars is that it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be but other than that it is awesome.
They bring this along any time we get in the car which is super convenient since they aren't bringing crayons that can melt or markers that'll bleed into my carpet. My oldest likes to draw pictures and write little stories to go along with it. They also use it to do little math quizzes and stuff. Really neat!
This writing tablet is awesome! My daughter has been enjoying honing her artistic skills on this. It's much easier to draw on then other childrens drawing toys. I also love that it comes with a cover and a magnetic back that makes it perfect for leaving notes on the fridge. I'd highly recommend this
We love these reusable versanotes pads. My sons use them in their lockers and prefer them over whiteboards and post it notes. They areExtremely durable and work really well.
My son loves this boogie board writing tablet. It is extremely easy to use. You can click it in to it's case or use it alone. My son keeps it on the refrigerator because it has a magnet on the back. It write great and bright and all you to is click the button and it clears the whole board. One thing that my son didn't like was that you have to erase everything you can not just erase one thing.
I am all about saving the environment and this saves me SO much trash by not wasting all of those expensive post-it notes! It’s bright clear and easy to read. I also love that the pen can be positioned in 2 directions so it can stand in both portrait and landscape view!
I got this play and trace boogie board from TOTY and my 2 year absolutely loves it. She plays with it every day. She loves tracing anything that she can find . She is learning her letters with the alphabet papers I put under it . This is a great product
I received the Boogie Board Jot Kids Writing Tablet. The one I received is the Lil' Coder. This writing tablet comes with a hard shell case and a stylus. The tablet also has replaceable batteries which is great not to have to charge anything. The colors are bright and my child liked the designs on front. The whole setup is thin and super lightweight. The stylus is a nice size and easy to hold. It does have a hole on one end. I'm not completely sure why and there is no information about it. I guess you could tie a string on it to keep from it getting lost. The stylus is a bit hard to snap in/out of the holder on the bottom. It is flat and only goes in a certain way. But not impossible. But i do wish the stylus was attached to tablet. The screen size is good. And it's very easy to write on. You do not have to press hard to get anything on screen. The screen however does leave marks and lines from your fingers and nails if you rest them on screen. The reset button is on top. It clears the screen fast and easy with a simple press. There are to magnets on back of the screen. It stuck to my refrigerator with no movement. However then you can not get the stylus without removing tablet from refrigerator. Also you will not be able to have the hard shell case on back of screen it will not stick. The hard shell case is ok. When on front it will protect the screen. However if the case is pressed against it left marks on screen. I liked the case better on the back. It made the tablet less flimsy. Overall a nice fun writing tablet you could use anytime.
I bought it several years ago and it still works.It'll be missed when the inbuilt nonreplaceable battery wears out though. Any suggestions when that occurs?
I liked this a lot my son who is starting to write had fun with it. You can trace pretty much anything the boogie board comes with cards for alphabets and numbers. Pretty easy to erase with a click of the button too. The only thing I felt that could be improved is the color of the ink. It might not be too visible if there's not enough light around. But overall it's pretty great and comfortable to use.
I got this for my kid because he likes to draw. It is a good concept and he likes it but from what I see it’s kind of flimsy for the targeted age range and the screen is hard to see. In the end my kid loves it and that’s all that matters.
Bought it for my 5 year old Neice so she could practice her sight words and alphabet (and doodle of course!) She loves it! I have a Jot Memo and letter sized Blackboard and I love them! (I use the Jot for tallying the Students boarding my School Bus memo I use for lists notes packing lists and the letter is used for Incident Reports.)
My granddaughter just started preschool this past week and I thought that this doodle pad would be a Great idea for her to practice her letters. So every night after dinner we sit for 30 minutes and not only practicing her letters but her handwriting. I think her favorite to do is to press the nose to erase what we just did. This is not only a toy but a learning tool as well. We are thoroughly enjoying this doodle pad and I'm sure your little one will to.
This is so much fun for my kids. . .they are being educated and entertained at the same time! Edutainment! ! ! This is such a great tool for the kids to learn hand writing and so much more. It is so important to have handwriting skills and this does the trick. Highly recommend!
My son is 7 and is in 2nd grade. I bought him this tablet for math problems. Instead of using paper he does his math problems on his tablet. It works great and so much cooler way of doing math!
This writing tablet is perfect for my son. He loves to draw and write and it allows him to do so and then press a button to clear it and start over. We also like the design around the board as it looks like a fire truck.
My four year old and two year old granddaughters like this very much. It's a nice little tracing tablet that keeps them entertained while learning to trace their letters.
My toddler loves to draw and this is the perfect solution for no mess. I love it to go while we are out and I need her entertained. Perfect to have always with you in the car
Love this writing tablet! You don’t have to worry about screen time like you would with a real tablet. This allows your kiddo to be creative write or doodle as much as they want. I really like that it’s lightweight and easy to take anywhere. Comes with a case and a stylus however if you forget or lose the stylus you can still write on it with your finger. Erases with a click of a button. I do recommend!
This tablet is great for my grand daughter to sit around and play on. It’s got a baking design on it that she loves. She sits and draws for long periods of time. She likes to use the button to erase and start over. It’s very light and easy to take anywhere she goes. It comes with a pencil that is a great size for her hands. It fits in the the cubby hole and stays as she’s carrying it around.
We got the Jot writing tablet to keep in the car for the littles to play with during drives. They play old school games like tic tac toe and hangman. They love it. It's a great way to play interactive learning games and they're so proud to show us what they're writing. It is a winner
My son loves being creative and he especially loves drawing. He enjoys using different mediums for his artwork and the Play n Trace Drawing Kit was a hit. We have used it to learn the alphabet words and numbers. You can place this over almost anything and trace it! Erasing is also a cinch! Just press the button and you have a clean slate for even more drawing and tracing. It comes with its own stylus providing a realistic utensil for practicing writing. We take this to restaurants and on road trips for hours of entertainment. My friend uses it in her classroom as a tool to support letter writing. It would be nice if there was a way to add a small light to the board but overall this is an excellent product with a wide variety of uses.
My daughter was really excited to use this and has been using it every day. She draws and says it makes homework fun because she can use it for practice or to write out problems. It erases well and is just the right size for car trips or at home.
The technology is great. It's a lot of fun to write on the notes and erase with a satisfying tap on the button. I just could not find a practical application for them. They don't replace sticky notes because you can't attach them to a piece of paper or pin them to a bulletin board. Writing comes out thick so you have to write relatively large letters and can't fit a lot of info on one note. There's about enough room to write down a name telephone number and maybe a date. You couldn't fit a whole grocery list but you wouldn't want to put the note in your pocket or purse anyway. If you are already writing with a traditional pen it's inconvenient to set that one down and pick up the special pen needed for the notes. I love the idea that it is reusable but it feels less environmentally friendly than reusing a scrap piece of paper that will be recycled. I do not recommend adding the magnet provided to the back as that interferes with the writing surface. I will continue to jot down notes in the margins and scraps of paper already on my desk.
We got this little Boogie Board Writing Tablet and my 5 year old is absolutely obsessed. He is fascinated by the fact that he can draw or write on it press a button that clears everything and start again. He has so much fun with it. As a parent I love it because it is portable and keeps my little guy busy in the car at the store when he is in the cart or just at home while I'm making dinner. Even my older kids have fun with it. This is a fabulous product and I highly recommend it!
Functional. I don't like how the text bleeds just a little and how easy it is to bump the erase button but it serves it purpose. I think if I did it over again I would also get a larger one.
My boys 3 and 6 love this writing tablet. I love that it is mess free. They don't need anything to clean off the board and I don't have to worry about them getting anything on their hands and clothes. The writing pen stays attached and it does not dry out like other pens. The button quickly erases their pictures to start again. Now I just need to purchase a second one so there is no fighting over it. Highly recommend for car and plane rides.
The boogie board was perfect for a trip and to pull out of a bag for an appointment. My kids liked the color of the fire truck theme but they did not recognize it as a truck right away. The stylist was difficult to remove from the tablet but my kids were able to grasp it in their hand easily. I liked the thicker cover that you could snap on so while it was in a bag it was protected a bit. My kids were able to press the button to clear their work without much effort. I was surprised how little force is needed to press and clear the tablet.
I am so happy to have received the Boogie Board - Sketch Pals™ Doodle Board - Clark the Shark. This is a really cool toy if you have a creative child who likes to draw or doodle. Its a tablet inside this cool shark face that has a pen attached. You can write drawn or doodle and with a touch of a button its erased and your ready to draw again. Perfect for boys and girls and would make a great gift.
We love them because we leave notes for my son when he gets home from school. With the included metal plates make it easy to stick them almost anywhere.
When I saw this in the store I knew I had to have it. I constantly jot down little details that I only need to retain for a few minutes at a time and I often have loads of papers on my desk with random things written on them. This completely solved that clutter problem! It's low profile makes it easy to put anywhere on my desk and the pen is easy to keep track of because it snaps on though I could easily use my fingernail if I wanted. It does fit easily into my pocket but I would recommend a cover or hard sleeve for it since pressure from anything else in your pocket will distort whatever is written on the Jot and/or the clear button could be pressed accidentally. I plan on buying another Boogie Board product for my teenager because as soon as he saw mine he wanted it. (hello easy Christmas present!)
I bought this as a Christmas gift so I haven't given it yet but I have gotten it out myself to look at it and I think it's neat. I'm giving only 4 stars because while I like it I don't know yet how much the child will like it.
