Review on 🎨 Etch A Sketch Classic Red Drawing Toy: Unleash Creativity with Magic Screen for Ages 3 and Up by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

very disappointed

very poor workmanship. I bought this item for my son as I used to play with the same toy for hours as a kid. and as always, I check all toys before I give them to my son. Not only do both knobs make a clicking sound, but you can feel the clicking in your fingers as you turn them. The display at the top stops right at the edge of the screen where you can barely see the drawn line, and at the bottom it stops about 3/8 inch off the bottom edge, wasting a lot of screen real estate. To clear the screen from drawings, you need to turn it over and shake it. Shaking it in any other way will not clear the downward-facing screen. Aside from that, When you shake it to clean, you can hear many small plastic parts inside the toy shaking. After careful consideration, I have decided not to give this toy to my son due to the poor quality. This makes me very disappointed as I was hoping to give him such a creative toy to while away his time. One last note, if you had one of these as a kid and expect it to be the exact same toy, you are wasting your time. . it's not the smooth-turning, easy-to-scratch, centered screenprint sketch we had as kids. Finally, if you had one of these as a kid and expect it to be the exact same toy you spend your time with. it is not the smoothly turning, easy to scratch, centered silkscreen sketch, that we had as children. Finally, if you had one of these as a kid and expect it to be the exact same toy you spend your time with. it's not the smooth-turning, easy-to-scratch, centered screenprint sketch we had as kids.

Fun, but impractical for travel
