How do you clean this children’s toy?

It’s like an etchasketch type thing but there’s no means to clean it!

Anyone know if there is a way to get it clean? Usually on things like these there’s a little thing at the bottom you move across to wipe it with but there’s nothing with it! Pic included below!!

Am I missing something?

I don't suppose you are supposed to use any of the shapes on the back of the board to clear it? Or could you use another magnet on the back?

I can't even find that board online 😳

A couple of searches (for other crayola boards) mention wiping with a damp cloth, any hard to remove lines try a little bit of dish soap. Sorry OP.

Thanks all. We used the magnet from the cupboard locks and it’s got it looking much fainter! We’ll take that as a win! 😂

Swipping the pencil over the screen on its side?

Whilst I am glad you found a way, I'm really annoyed there's not a 'proper' way to do it.

What a frustrating toy !! 😂

Agreed, someone really fucked up in designing this! How bloody irritating there's no actual way to do it.

Not that it should matter but might be a 'Crayola' item that isn't official.
In that case it's what ever works, so glad something did!

Wonderingmamma · 02/12/2023 06:10

@Jouleigh the back of it mentions it being official! There is a pic of it in one of my replies above! 🙈

I agree with @Jouleigh tbh. If you look at the guarantee sticker it has a mobile number and not landline or an official address. And i can't see a safety mark either. Sorry OP.

@Wonderingmamma I just found one in Poundland!

Yes you wipe the back of the board with the magnet attatched to the pencil, I've just had a look at my daughters ! X
