Advantages: GOOD COPYING TOOL AND FUN FOR KIDS

Disadvantages: BIG AND BULKY

Older daughter (9) badgered me for this for ages before her birthday and decided after looking at it we would buy it.

It is quite expensive and we payed £18.99 from Argos, managed to get a good look at one in "the entertainer" toy shop but did not buy it as was £21.00.

Super grafix is made by John Adams who do some great educational and craft toys at fairly good prices.

This is a copying tool for children which involves looking through a set of glasses which make the image you are copying "appear" on the paper you are copying onto,in the box is a large plastic briefcase style contraption with a handle for easy carrying, feels sturdy enough and solid that it won't break in two minutes.

It is then a matter of turning the dials on the side to open it up then you either have the choice of an easel in front of you which has grips attached to it to hold the item to be copied or you can drop the easel down which leaves you with in effect the outside frame and then you can copy everything in it.

Daughter particularly liked this still life option of dropping the easel and copying anything she liked,does not play with it everyday but still regularly uses it,my only criticism is its size makes it difficult to store.

Results have been good and get better with use as daughter gets more confident,all in all a good buy.

Summary: GOOD FOR BUDDING ARTISTS,GOOD CONFIDENCE BOOSTER
