Looking for some help or advice here.
Need to get presents for 3 year old and 4 year old girls. Both enjoy drawing / colouring.
I have seen this advertised and wondered if anyone has bought them or would recommend them? Thanks.

I have ordered one of these but still waiting for delivery, they sent a blanket email when i chased them saying they were busy and will process my order soon but not info as to when or even a likely timescale. I'm currently debating whether or not to cancel the order.
Would love to hear from someone who has had one though and what they thought of it.

I've also wondered about these - reviews aren't great from amazon but would be good for 6 yo to practice writing

Its no trouble!! Honestly i was shocked when it turned up as its basically cardboard with some sort of film over the top, the advert makes it look far superior to what turns up! They give you two pens (one you can use directly on the board and one you cant) but no labelling so its guess work which one is safe to use, if you use the wrong one it ruins the board!!
I'm currently arguing with them and don't want anyone else to have to go through the same so happy to give my review to help people out.
I will definitely be more wary of these ads, i am annoyed at myself for being sucked in 😔

The website doesn't look like the most high-quality items. Why not buy a mini whiteboard or a chalkboard / whiteboard stand?
