I got this as a gift for my special needs son. Markers are too messy for him. Crayons he tries to eat. This works great to allow him to doodle or scribble. He can easily push the button to erase his picture and then start over again.
He likes to have me spell words for him and this allows us to do it over and over again while he gets to see the words.
The only complaint I have with this is the stylus. It comes with a stylus which is great. There just needs to be a holder built into the tablet to hold the stylus. This is going to get lost easily. There is a clip on it (like a pen clip) but it's too small to clip on the tablet anywhere.
If it does get lost, you can use any other stylus with it.
Other than not having a stylus holder, this is a great product for special needs kids or for any child to take on a road trip or even to practice writing.
