We were so excited to get this for our toddler. We had bought her one from Wal-Mart for $1 at Easter time and she had loved it. So why not upgrade, right? Well now we wish we hadn't wasted our money. It barely erased when we first bought it and now a few weeks on it takes several swipes to make the drawings fade. It's turned a light gray and we can't get it clean at all. Our toddler plays with it if we play too, but it's not the toy of choice among all of the others so it's not like it's just worn out (and even so, after only a few weeks that would be disappointing!).
Over all I would not recommend it.
