Melissa & Doug Scratch Art Magic Doodle Book | Scratch Art for Kids | Arts & Crafts | Magic Drawing Pad |Christmas Crafts for Kids | 4+ years | Gift for Boy or Girl

Fantastic! I have bought my son lots in this range. The wooden scratchers are not sharp and they are easy to use (he is 6). Keeps him entertained for a bit and he's very proud with his drawings-makes even scribbles look great. It is quite small but not stupidly so.

Good

Makes a lovely little 'extra' gift as it's actually quite small. Even though you get 16 pages, each page is just under 4 x 5.5 inches, quite a bit smaller than the book cover so it isn't as big as some of the other options, although mine was considerably cheaper than the others.It also smelled quite chemically. I've had other which haven't been like that.The holographic effect is a nice change, it seems they are harder to find than the rainbow ones.I think these are just great fun for all ages, I have bought them for a 12 year old previously, this time I was buying for a 45 year old and myself! (29) In hindsight I would spend a bit more and get one of the larger books.For this, you are paying half the price for half the goods so it's not bad value, it's just not enough for my doodling needs!Good fun!Edit to add: Just realised the dimensions were listed under 'more product information' so it was as described, I just didn't spot it!

These are great. I remember doing similar when i was at school, so when i came across them i knew my kids would love them and i was right. These are easy to use and really do make great picture. Only things i didn't like were there isn't many pages and my kids used them all within a two days and the bool and pages aren't very big but none the less my kids loved these.

There is no clear indication of the book's dimension. The kids' hands must have been quite small as I tried the same thing with my kids (5-7) and the result was not as convincing.The front and back covers are reinforced, so it's quite good for travelling, but the actual scratch pages end up being even smaller (10.5x14cm). The first part is silver and the second is rainbow (separated by a blank sheet).The price might look appealing, but still for the same quality and bigger pads, cheaper can be found out there.

Bought for a distraction activity for a long car journey and it worked well, kept them amused for a good long time. Plenty of sheets to do, good value for money

My granddaughter enjoys it but it's not as large as I thought.

I admit I didn’t read the reviews and was really shocked at how small it was. But regardless I gave it to my daughter as part of her birthday and she loved it. Kept her attention and more importantly off the iPad! The pictures look lovely and i’m less annoyed about the size now. I do feel it should be described as mini!
