Disappointing gift left by Santa (I'm not taking credit)Dec 26, 2007
By Logical Libertine We purchased this item for our daughter for Christmas. It was slated (by my wife) to be the best gift under the tree. While it was well received by our 4 year old daughter, there are some disappointing issues worth noting.
As other reviwers have mentioned, the cleaning of the board is a major design flaw. Using a soft tissue requires pretty heavy handed rubbing (impossible for a young child) - and this technique also led to scratching of the plastic board. Yes thats right - soft tissue scratched the board. Using a moistened wipe just creates a smudged board. As you can see - neither method is ideal. The instructions offer no suggestions on cleaning techniques.
Markers are very dry. A simple man would assert that less dry markers would result in a nicer glow. I can tell after 1 day of use these markers will not be useable much longer.
See the graphics on the box showing the board's drawings "glow"? Don't hold your breath. You can get a decent effect with the lights out - but even then its not brilliant.
Overall - this is just a major disappointment. The commercials for this product make it look great - heck - thats why we bought it! But the end result is a toy that will likely be discarded sooner rather than later.
I recommend moon sand - our daughter hasn't put that stuff down since she opened it! :-)

Great for creative children, but poor qualityDec 08, 2007
By Claire My kids have had this toy for three days now, and they're still in love with it. However, there are some issues with the two plastic drawing surfaces--they are very difficult to clean and they scratch easily. Even extensive cleaning with baby wipes will still leave a lot of residue. The colors no longer stand out as much as a result.

Cute concept--a good addition the Crayola lineDec 25, 2007
By bethlovesbooks My eight-year old received this for Christmas and is enjoying it. It comes with six markers and one picture that you can trace. It comes with two drawing surfaces: the main one and a clear plastic board that sits behind the main surface. You can take the plastic board out and snap it on front of the main surface and draw one version of a scene, then slide that board in back and create another version of that scene on the main board. When you turn the "glow" part on, it will "light up" the front scene, or the back scene, or both at the same time. There is also an option (our favorite) where it blinks back and forth between the two scenes which makes it look like the scene is in motion. The distance and overlapping scenes does create somewhat of a 3-D effect.
The scenes light up fine in a lighted room, but look more dramatic in the dark. Some disadvantages are that the markers are small in size (I'm wondering how long they will work well). The directions warn that they dry out "much" faster than regular markers if you leave the caps off. Also, they recommend storing them in a ziploc bag. Sometimes it is hard to see what you are drawing as the markers don't show up well unless the scene is being lit up.
Overall, I think it's a good product...fun and different. It offers a different dimension to their art and the glow effect is cool. We haven't had any problems cleaning the boards--no more than with any surface like that (dry erase, overhead projector, etc.) you just have to be fastidious to get all the residue off, but it's not a big deal).
Also, you can go to the Crayola site and print off more pictures to trace if you'd like (there are about 15 of them). They also have a spot there where you can design your own and print them off, but the selections are limited and the scenes kind of dumb. For example, there is a snowman there that turns into a skeleton--why the need to be macabre?

Fun for everyone!Dec 09, 2007
By A. Wuerslin I am 24 years old and I received this as an xmas gift. It is so much fun for all ages! It was officially named "coolest gift ever" by everyone at the xmas party.
It is simple to use once you read the instructions, the glowing effect is amazing! I would recommend this for older children, as it may be hard for youngin's to understand the steps needed to make the animated picture effect, and a few drops on a tile floor might break this toy. As far as educational value, I suppose it teaches about light refraction, if you want to get into that with your kids. It cleans up great with a damp cloth. Also, make sure you have 3 AA batteries on hand, they do not come included.

Fun but hard to cleanNov 19, 2008
By BoyCrazyMama
"Mom of four boys"
My six year old son received this for his birthday in April. He's played with it quite often since then. Everyone in our family thinks it's so much fun and the effects are really cool. The main problem is cleaning it. I've tried several different things and none work as well as I'd like. I wish they'd give some better ideas about cleaning in the instructions.
