A Magic Drawing Pad
With a size comparable to a Magna-Doodle, the GloDoodle is compact and easy to transport -- ideal for a long car ride. The mechanism behind the drawing pad is simple. Its screen is a tightly-pulled plastic sheet, which indents when in is touched. When the pad’s LED light is switched on, it reflects off of these indentations and creates color. The screen is very sensitive, and even a gentle brush of the finger will show up in beautifully-colored light. The drawings also glow in the dark, allowing your child to doodle at night, too.

When they are done drawing, your kids can erase their creations with the push of the "magic erase" button. The button pulls the screen taut, erasing any indentation. It works, but it is sometimes difficult to push in all the way, so small children may have trouble erasing their pictures completely.

Inspires Creative Thinking
As a visual arts tool, the GloDoodle is surprisingly versatile. It features three different colors of light (red, yellow and green) and can simulate both drawing and painting. Kids can use the included stylus to make fine, pencil-like drawings. Or, they can smudge the screen with their fingers for a smooth, paintbrush effect. The translucent tracing screen expands their artistic options even more. Expect the GloDoodle to provide your kid with hours of artistic fun.
