Cute but definitely could use a few improvements

Quite cute, and the concept is nice. Flip pages with drawings to practice with. The fabric feels like that fabric used for reusable grocery bags. I’m so glad I opened it before gifting it. It smells awful. I mean really awful, like dirty laundry. The box has an oily stain on it, while still inside the plastic, protective, packing sleeve. The caps on the washable pens just push on, no click, probably won’t stay on long with a child. The pocket for the pens is just an open pocket, no tab or Velcro, pens fall out. The idea is good, but so many corners are cut that it feels cheaply made, like flea market quality. Rather than a gift, it will be a stocking stuffer, that must be aired out. Must shop for a nicer gift. Hopefully will smell better by Christmas. 🙊

Pros
  • The erasable feature of the pens allows kids to make mistakes and correct them, promoting a sense of experimentation and learning through trial and error
Cons
  • Although the pens are advertised as erasable, some drawings may require more than a single swipe, leading to residue that is tough to clean
