I was disappointed in the quality of this magic slate product for the price. It looked sturdy on the picture but is really a flimsy cardboard, not even flat. It is like the old 5 and 10 cent store magic slates with the twist that instead of pulling up to erase you slide the sheets...and they sometimes gets stuck when sliding them back into place. The best I can say is that the magic slate serves its purpose.It's a waste of money, though it only costs under $4. It consists of a paper board that can be easily pulled out but hard to put back by a baby b/c it's a type of thin paper, so you'll have to lend a hand. The 4 colored sides are also paper and the screen is made of cheap plastic.
It looks cheap, feels cheap and only last for minutes, for it's easily tore apart by any curious 18 months old baby.
Not recommended AT ALL. It's not worth even under $1.This arrived with the plastic all wrinkled and the way that this particular slate is built, you cannot remove the slate from the cardboard frame so there is no chance you can straighten it out so you can actually write on it. The design is so flawed compared to the other ones, I was really disappointed and had to return it. Not even worth $1 IMOCool product! Saves paper! Fun to use and so much cheaper and easy to carry around than a whiteboard or a magna doodle, which I was thinking of purchasing. Glad I got the Magna Slate instead. I am actually a college student and I find it very useful for writing and memorizing organic chemistry reactions.I ordered two of these. One was in good shape. The slate slid in and out of the frame easily. On the second one, the slate was difficult to slide in and out. I teach preschool, and we use these slates as a pre-writing tool. The children need to be able to slide the slate in and out on their own. The slates need to be consistent in their ease of operation in order for young children to be able to work the slate on their own. These slates are preferable to the ones where the plastic lifts off of the slate. The plastic sheet can tear and bend. I like the idea of the slate sliding in and out of the frame.
