My 2.5 and 1-year old would step on it often, and this toy still works. It still draws and erases fine. Haven't seen any cracks. We played tracing our hands and feet, guessing game (I draw and they guess), and writing. We have magnetic letters that we put on the doodle pad and they would leave alphabetic imprints. It was a lot of fun.
Good drawing board.:
Purchased this for my 2 year old & it is a good size. Doesn't play with it a bunch but he's a boy!
So much fun!:
Our young daughter loves this although all she can do now is scrawl with the pen. I love that we can make a new picture each night for her to find in the morning. Easy way to learn how to draw without the mess of paper and pens when they are this young. Love the ease to erase and recreate.
Not as good as it used to be:
I think I love this thing more than the kids do. I've bought the cheaper brands that weren't the same. This one doesn't seem to be as sturdy as the "old" Magna Doodle named ones. If you rest your hand on it, it draws the little "shavings" to the surface and leaves a smudge; that wasn't a problem with the older ones. But this is still a very fun toy!! I catch the adults playing with it all the time.
