We've been asked by THQ the makers of the just released uDraw GameTablet to find 5 Mumsnetters and their child(ren) (ideally aged between about 6 and 14) to road test the product and to add their feedback on Mumsnet.

The uDraw GameTablet allows users to 'draw' on a special drawing screen and your artwork then appears, via the Wii, on the TV screen. There are lots of different options for the picture - you can 'draw' in crayon, pen - add on stamps and colour in pictures. The uDraw GameTablet retails for around £50.

Here's what they have to say about the product: "The uDraw GameTablet is a first-of-its-kind, revolutionary game system that provides a unique and fun way for kids and families to play with Wii. With innovative features that allow kids to express themselves and bring their imaginations to life, the uDraw GameTablet creates an all-new category of play through an easy-to-use system. The uDraw GameTablet comes bundled with the uDraw Studio game software. Other games available at launch include Pictionary and Dood?s Big Adventure, with more titles debuting in 2011".

We're looking for 5 Mumsnetters for this product test - this is open to all UK MNers who have a Wii at home. You should also ideally have at least one child aged between 6 and 14 to take part.

If you are selected for the test you will be sent a uDraw GameTablet (with the uDraw Studio game software) as well as copies of Pictionary and Dood's Big Adventure to try (worth a total of around £90). You will be able to keep the products at the end of the trial. In return we'd ask that you add at least 2 lots of feedback to a thread on Mumsnet, to let others know how your child(ren) found it. We'll be asking for initial impressions upon receiving it and then some feedback on how you and your child(ren) are using it after a week or so.

If you'd like to take part please add your details here and we'll be in touch with the selected testers soon.

Many thanks and good luck
MNHQ

Pick me pick me pick me I was always lusting after graphic tablet when I was younger but we couldn't afford it

Even my 2 year old would love something like this having just spent ages last weekend on the 'computer style drawing machines' which are provided in French shopping centres to amuse children!

reup · 08/03/2011 20:26

I would love to test it to encourage my 7 year old ds to draw more. He has problems with handwriting so am always looking for stuff to make pen control more exciting. My 4 year old would enjoy it too .

AurraSing · 08/03/2011 20:30

It would go down a storm here.

ElectricSoftParade · 08/03/2011 20:34

Yes please! My two would love it.

feedthegoat · 08/03/2011 20:40

We'd love to try it, although ds is only 5. I'm sure my 11 year old niece would happily help test though!

brightermornings · 08/03/2011 20:47

shabbapinkfrog · 08/03/2011 20:52

Would love to be chosen.

DS4 is in the correct age group (he's 13) and is fascinated by art, graphics etc etc. Wants to be a Games designer when he leaves school.

Fingers crossed Grin

BehindLockNumberNine · 08/03/2011 21:51

Btw - for some reason the 18+ box was ticked and I noticed it too late. I don't have an 18+ year old. Oops.

confuddledDOTcom · 08/03/2011 22:08

My daughter is four and as the daughter of two artists (as in that's our jobs!) she's quite the artist herself - how many four year olds do you know who can accurately copy a picture of a dragon? I keep uploading her pictures to Facebook because I don't think anyone believes me Grin

Magna · 08/03/2011 22:10
