Cra-Z-Art 14608 Retro Magna Doodle

Product Information

Coming complete with a stylus (which is handily attached so it can never get lost) and a variety of magnetic shapes that can be used on the drawing board it is far easier for little people (and underwhelming illustrators like me) to attempt - and succeed at – creating something vaguely artistic. The fun, mess free way to be creative, the Original Magna Doodle Deluxe lets you draw using a magnetic screen, pen and stampers. Draw a picture, then erase it and start over again. Includes 3 stampers, a magnetic pen and has an easy carry handle built in! In " The One With Mac And C.H.E.E.S.E." a plot point is made of how Chandler attempts and fails to leave an important message for Joey in this Magna Doodle. Bought this drawing board for my child and it turned out to be a fantastic gift. They use it multiple times a day and their artistic skills, as well as their ability to hold crayons and pens, have improved. Although the board feels a bit cheap, the love my child has for it makes up for that. The board's size is larger than expected, providing ample drawing space, and the stamps work well for creating shapes. The clearing swipe usually cleans the board in one go, making it convenient and efficient for continuous play. Why Should You Buy a Magnetic Drawing Board?

Use the Magna Doodle board to draw pictures, write messages, play games, practice letters and numbers, and inspire imaginations Now I’ll admit right now that the nuts and bolts of how something is technically put together isn’t really something my brain seems to be able to grasp, so the actual science part of it goes right over my head. However, if you just want to be able to vaguely understand why you can draw a line on the surface of the Magna Doodle when the stylus isn’t really a pen, then I’ll give it a go… Meanwhile, you also have two tabletop options. You can fold the legs under and use it as a standard magnetic drawing board, or you can extend two legs and have the board sit on the table at an angle.In 1974, four engineers from Pilot Pen Corporation invented a "dustless chalkboar­d." Their invention has become one of the most popular drawing toys, with more than 40 million sold since its introduction. Countless children have enjoyed playing and learning with it. a b "Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) - Serial Number 73605218". United States Patent and Trademark Office .

Magnetic drawing boards are a relatively inexpensive way to give your child endless hours of artistic and educational opportunities.

Magna Doodle is a children's magnetic drawing toy, consisting of a magnetic drawing board, a pen, and a few magnet shapes. It was invented in 1974 and over forty million have been sold to date. In Friends, a Magna Doodle is seen hanging on the door in Chandler and Joey's apartment, first appearing in " The One With The Hypnosis Tape" (S3E18). Different drawings and writings appeared on it in each episode, and some served as inside jokes for the cast. The Vivitoy magnetic drawing board has four different colored areas on the 6.1 x 4.3-inch screen. This drawing area is surrounded by a wide, brightly colored frame that has rounded edges and corners. The sliding eraser is easy to move across the unit to clear the picture. A magnetic drawing board — like the iconic Magna Doodle — has long been a toy favored by kids (and parents!) because of how much freedom it gives them to express their creative side in a fun, no-mess way. The best magnetic drawing boards on today's market, however, have come along way from that classic graphite design. Besides carrying handles and tethered pens, you'll find multicolored boards, fun accessories, and some are even smartly designed to help build on language and motor skills. Consider the weight of the board if your child will be using it on their lap, or you will be transporting it.It was in 1974 that engineers from the Pilot Pen Corporation invented what they described as the ‘dustless chalkboard’. Sold by toy companies Tyco in the US and Fisher Price in the UK, the rights to this inventive little drawing board now rest with The Ohio Art Company, who also own the Etch-a-Sketch. Smaller boards are easy to throw into a bag as take-a-long amusement. But larger boards can be more suitable for teaching and kids who enjoy making big creations. The Magna Doodle was produced by Tyco until 1998 when most of Tyco's toys were sold to Fisher-Price. The Magna Doodle is currently produced by The Ohio Art Company and used to be distributed in the United Kingdom by Fisher-Price. Fisher-Price has discontinued the Magna Doodle and have produced their own alternative, the Doodle Pro. It is still available in the UK, from the distribution company Megatel LTD.
