Doodle Pro Nick Jr. Dora the Explorer

Reader Reviews
Durability: Fun: Educational: First off, don't spend anything over $19.99 for this model. They can be found at Toys R Us for that price. I don't know why this one is being sold for almost $40 here. Even though this is a child's toy, it is not just for children. When I was a child we used to have a device that had a thin piece of pink plastic that covered over a hard white plastic bottom baseboard. When you wrote on it, the plastic would smash together and allow you to see what you wrote. This method worked poorly to say the least. The letters would start to disappear immediately. My hard witting is not as good as I want it to be. I have been doing handwriting exercises to improve it; but this wastes a lot of paper. So I went looking for the Pink Board. I found out that it had been replaced with this Magnetic-type board. The Doodle Pro seemed like the perfect tool for my needs and it truly is. The Doodle Pro is very solid. Made of hard plastic. It works by using thin Iron pieces locked in between two plastic sheets. When you use the magnetic pen, it drawls the Iron partials together and forms it into what ever shape you wrote it in. The idea works very well. You can shake this thing like crazy and the Iron pieces will stay in there place. When you write out letters, they stay pretty much as they would when written on a sheet of paper. Which makes it perfect for adults who are looking to improve their writing skills. So if you want to buy one of these for a child, it will withstand their abuse with ease. Just don't feel ashamed if you find it to be a useful tool for yourself. (((NOTE: Just make sure you buy a Doodle Pro and not some cheap Chinese knock-off. I wasted $30 on some piece of junk being sold here on this web site.)))
