 I want one for me, too October 12, 2008
My mother in law purchased this for my son's 2nd birthday this year. We haven't had any problems with the lady bug eraser movement. Of course, my son is a bit of a bruiser. We have really enjoyed drawing pictures together (rather than on my walls!) The impression the animal magnets leave on the board are a bit disappointing, but as a drawing pad, we really like it.
This really is pretty bad. July 23, 2008
We have had two of these toys, both gifts, both nearly impossible to erase. It takes quite a lot of strength to pull that ladybug down. Then, after a few months either the ladybug starts to come off of the lever or the lever no longer goes all the way to the bottom, making it impossible to erase part of the screen. And the whole ladybug eraser mechanism is really loud and annoying. The animals aren't magnetized to the top, they kind of snap in and out. So, as others have said, they go from being hard to get out to falling out too easily. We also have the Fisher Price Doodle Pro. The shapes on that slide into the side, keeping them from getting lost. It's really easy to erase, and the screen looks better--whiter and the black shows up better.
 This Toy Sent My Daughter to the Emergency Room Tonight! June 10, 2008
I have only owned the Parents brand Young at Art magnetic sketch board since Christmas 2007, when my now 22 month old daughter received it as a gift. The magnetic animals that come with the board are quite small and pose a choking hazard to young children, so I took them away from her. I assumed this would eliminate any safety risk, but I was wrong. Tonight my child placed the tip of the magnetic pen in her mouth, somehow detaching the tiny magnet from the rest of the pen. As I was unsure of whether or not she swallowed the magnet I rushed her to the nearest emergency room. I brought the board along just so the doctor on call could get an idea of the size of the magnet she may have swallowed. When I got out of the car to walk into the ER, I also noticed that an unknown, black greasy substance was leaking from the pen. I feared it was toxic, so I was very careful not to let it contact my or my child's skin.
The doctor had to have a nose-to-rectum X-ray done on my child, and fortunately she did not swallow the magnet, but it certainly could have happened. Furthermore, she must have ingested some of the unknown, potentially toxic, still unidentified substance oozing from the pen, so I do not know any side effects it will have on her. I did not want to touch this dangerous product any longer, so I had the doctor discard it in the biohazard bin.
This product is very improperly made and certainly a serious safety hazard for children. All the other problems mentioned by other reviewers - the magnets that won't stay in place after repeated use, the difficult to use ladybug slider, and the grinding noise - are all true as well. The 16 dollars for which the Parents company sells this product may look like a bargain, but the ER visit cost my family well over 100 dollars and a great deal of anxiety.
Great toy March 30, 2008
I disagree with all of the negative reviews. I am looking to buy a second one of these for my 10 month old daughter, who loves her older brothers. She has no problems taking the magnets out of their slots or erasing the doodles or making doodles. We have had this toy for 3 months and it is a hit. Both my 20 and 10 month old likes it and can use it as intended.
Keep Shopping December 3, 2007
I wasn't impressed with this product and feel there are definately better ones out there. The marks don't show up that well--they are dull, our ladybug eraser was extremely difficult for our little one to pull and eventually got stuck and broke altogether. It has some nice features, like the animal shapes, the cushion bottom and carry handle, but all in all ... not worth buying.
