Travel Etch A Sketch

Bought this for my 4 year old because he really wanted one. I bought the small one because I thought the large one would be too big for his lap. He played with it for ten minutes, now it's in the toy box. The toy is exactly as described.

My kids used this more or less daily for 2 weeks straight, as a car toy. The regular size Etch a Sketch was a bit too big to cram into my purse when we went to restaurants, so I purchased this one. It seemed like a good value until my kid dropped it (about 3 feet drop) unto a carpeted floor. One of the knobs popped off and because the plastic broke, I could not get it back on. Being able to control only one direction of etching gets old after about 20 seconds. We tried to superglue the part back on, but it still did not work. Off to the landfill. Too bad - if the manufacturer had just invested a few more pennies to make this more durable, it could have been a terrific travel toy. Would not recommend - stick with the larger size if you can.

We purchased two for our kids for Christmas. The kids love them, but one of the two stopped working in less than two days. This is a classic toy and very fun to play with, but not very durable.

...but you can't expect much from an Etch A Sketch. The lines are visible even after shaking it for a while and the controls aren't really smooth but it does it's job for sure.

We travel frequently with grandchildren. This is a great travel companion for the 10 and 5 year old as well as the toddler. And we prefer this to kids focusing on electronic devices.

It was hard for the kids to maneuver this travel etch a sketch. The lines were not strong visibly to see, and the kids were getting frustrated with it.

Bought it for our 4 year old grandson's birthday. He had already played with our old etch a sketch and this was the right size for his smaller hands.

My son has been looking for an Etch A sketch and we were excited when we found this one for a reasonable price so he could buy it. However, in the description when we ordered it, it said it was 11x15" when in actuality it was a about 3x5". We were shocked at how small it was, but my son decided to keep it because it was too much of a hassle to return. Amazon, you need to be more accurate in your discriptions. Other than that, it works fine...just a little misleading.
