Double Sided Doodle Board

If you decide to purchase this poorly-designed, known-to-be-defective toy, be sure to keep your receipt. Little Tikes will only refind your money if you have this record of your expense. Otherwise, you *might* be given a check for $15 that can only be used to purchase other Little Tikes products.

What is the problem? The drawings will not stay on the screen long enough to actually draw anything. I tried to draw a house for my 2 year old daughter. By the time I drew the roof, the walls had faded to the point of no longer being there.

In order to get my "refund" (store credit), I had to deface the product "so that nobody would ever want the toy" (their words)and send in photo proof to Little Tikes. If you look at the user-contributed photos, and you will see how I defaced the product.

This product has been discontinued by Little Tikes. They discontinued it because they know it to be defective. Save yourself the trouble and find a better company with which to do business.

We bought this for our daughter after she played with a different model by Little Tikes.I agree with the other reviewers that the pen is inexplicably too short.But the real problem is that the drawings fade immediately.We're taking it back and getting a different one, hopefully it will work as advertised.Maybe the chalk board is good, but that's not the "draw" to the product.

I agree this toy is a total disappointment. I'm sure the string is short in order to make it less of a choking hazard, but the pen was unusable for my generally coordinated 18-month-old. He was so excited to try this toy, but wound up crying with frustration trying to use the pen. Even after cutting the string, it's not intuitive which end is the correct end, and the magnet is pretty tiny on the end. Also found the chalkboard to be of pretty poor quality. Cute idea but an awful design.

UPDATE: We cut the string on the pen so that it was at least usable. A year and a half later, I can say that the only part of this we ever used was the stamps. It still comes out of the toy box once in a while for a few minutes, usually when a visiting kid checks it out.

My girl got this for a Christmas present because she has Magna-Doodle travel that she loves. The magnet shapes work fine, but the pen is horrible. The string is too short to reach the whole screen and as others have said, the image fades immediately. She loves Mickey and I can't even draw a whole Mickey before the shape of his face fades. The chalk side may be fine, but I'll be looking for a real Magna-Doodle for her to draw on. I can't believe that Little Tikes (which normally produces good toys) has allowed this piece of junk on the market.

What a nice board...so I thought when I saw it in the store. Chalk boar on one side, magnetic board on the other. Nice storage compartment for the chalk and eraser. That side works fine although the storage compartment is hard to open for a toddler. BUT, the magnetic board. Oh boy. What a piece of junk. The stamps are great. But the pen is on a short string, I know safety, but come on, you can't even draw on the whole board with it. Picture fades in no time. My toddler played with it and happened to draw a cool elephant. By the time I got the camera to take a picture of my 22 month old child's masterpiece, the picture was so faded, it is very hard to see in the picture I took. When you carry it around, fading is almost immediate. And the board warped which makes it essentially impossible to use it now. You draw on one end, then the other and your original drawing is erased. After 2 months of play this junk is ready to go out with the junk. What a shame. Please save your money!!!
