I had Lakeshore Bucks expiring that I wanted to use and this looked like a neat product! So, I decided to order it. When it arrived, I immediately opened the box and began playing with it. My husband looked over at me, shook his head, and smiled. Hey, he knew what he was getting into when he married an ECE teacher! But the real test was bringing it to lunch with a friend who has a three year old son. He absolutely loved it! This is perfect to keep kids busy in restaurants! Not only is it lightweight, it's pretty compact, and most importantly, pretty quiet (although it does make some slight noise when the metal beads are pushed in). The magnet in the pen is super strong and pulls up the metal beads with ease. It's super fun for both kids and adults alike. (I even caught my husband playing with it yesterday!) I am in between teaching jobs right now, but once I am back teaching, I cannot wait to bring this in for them and let the kids have fun with it. I love toys that encourage creativity and thinking and this toy does both! I highly recommend this product!

This is a great quiet time activity for children. My students love to use it in our calming area.

This was a gift for my niece, perfect for sensory input. It kept the 9yo entertained in the car for nearly four hours and is very calming.

i bought this for my neice and she loved it!!! all the adults at the party wanted to take a turn with it and play with it too!

My grandsons use this board to practice writing the alphabet as well as making pictures. Great item to take for a car ride.

10/10 Highly Recommend.

This toy worth every penny , it keeps my kids playing for hours . Good for the fine motor skills . I recommend this toy for everyone ages 2 and above . Perfect as a birthday present.

Great quiet time activity.

Great for kids and adults alike. It’s not a silent toy, but great for a distraction and pretty sturdy.

My childcare loves this magnetic drawing board. Sometimes when the children aren't here I find myself playing with it.

I assumed this magnet board would be a hit with my kinder students with a sensory diet, but it is highly sought out by the ALL the kiddos in my classroom. Such a fun alternative for practicing letters, numbers and shapes. The fact that they have to map out the correct formation then get to reinforce it again by pushing the balls down for removal, it’s double the practice! Highly recommend!

This writing board is very sturdy and durable for a 3 year old preschool classroom!
