Small hands can manage this toy when traveling and having to sit patiently in a store cart or at doctor's office, etc. Quiet toys are useful to keep noise level low when necessary. Kids use their imagination to create fun drawings and keeps little minds busy focusing and no cleaning up after play.
I remember when my own children were little and enjoyed the Etch a Sketch and in time improved their drawing skills on it.
The mini etch-a-sketch is an easy toy I can use with my granddaughter (17 mo.) Do not allow her to play with herself only when someone is helping her. Easy for her to hang on to.
After you include the cost of shipping, this item is absolutely bot worth it. My cell phone screen is bigger than the one on this item. Not worth it. Spend a few more dollars on a bigger one
