This was one of my sons first birthday gifts and my 2 year old at the time loved it as well. They both play with it daily. We even found astronaut helmets as well for both of them and they love pretending to go to space!

My kids LOVE these and use them at home and in the car! I would recommend these drawing pads as a must-have for long car rides or even a plane ride. They came in handy on vacation as an activity at restaurants or in the hotel room.

We got this for my son (1.5yrs) and he loves playing with it but it's interactive and give directions so I think an older age child would get a better playing experience. My 3 year old little girl actually loves playing with it but I think it may be ...
