Having always been the creative type growing up I now enjoy encouraging my own children to take part in creative activities whether it be painting, cutting & sticking, Play Doh etc... Creative play is great for a child's development, they learn so much about shapes and colours, it develops their hand eye co-ordination and teaches them the value of sitting down and concentrating on projects.

It works as an easel would - you make patterns and ...  Read the complete review

My daughter had this for a christmas present last year and i must say shes only played with it a few times. Me personal thought it was a waste of money as my daughter showed no intrest what so ever it comes with this rattle ball thing that is used for drawing and 3 basic shapes triangle , flower and heart which can also be used as a square and circles at the base .

When your child wishes to clear their previous drawing ...  Read the complete review
