With the Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board, kids can take their creations to a whole new level of fun. The glow board comes with six vibrant neon markers, which can be used to draw on either of the board's two drawing surfaces. Once their drawing is complete, kids can illuminate the colored inks with the touch of a button, as the board's lights give the ink an intense glow.

Kids are able to create a multitude of different drawings. | An Electronic Easel
The Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board offers a unique way for kids to display their art, as it lights up drawings much like a neon sign. It incorporates several violet lights under the drawing surface. When lit, these lights cause the ink to take on a vivid, striking glow. The board's surface is reusable -- ink erases in an instant -- making it good for hours of fun at a time. Children can easily display their artwork by using the easel back to prop the board in place. And the board's two separate drawing layers give kids even more room to doodle. Using the glow board's controls, kids can choose to display one layer, or flash between both for an exciting billboard-like effect. Drawing with the Glow Board
The glow board's markers come in six dazzling neon colors -- red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and pink. With these colors at their command, kids will be able to create a multitude of different drawings. Perhaps they will envision a galaxy with stars and planets, or render an undersea adventure. The markers have medium tips, which can draw thickly but also offer the ability to draw finer images. A tracing sheet comes with the board to help kids get ideas for their artwork. This toy is recommended for children ages six and up, and requires three AAA batteries (not included.) About Crayola

 Fun for everyone! December 9, 2007

I am 24 years old and I received this as an xmas gift. It is so much fun for all ages! It was officially named "coolest gift ever" by everyone at the xmas party.
It is simple to use once you read the instructions, the glowing effect is amazing! I would recommend this for older children, as it may be hard for youngin's to understand the steps needed to make the animated picture effect, and a few drops on a tile floor might break this toy. As far as educational value, I suppose it teaches about light refraction, if you want to get into that with your kids. It cleans up great with a damp cloth. Also, make sure you have 3 AA batteries on hand, they do not come included.
Cool toy for little artists! January 12, 2008

We got this for our 4 year old son for Christmas! He loves it! There are 2 different plates that you draw on with the included markers. Other reviewers commented that it was difficult to erase. I didn't find that to be a problem. I just use a damp paper towel and it comes right off. I do want to note that the second drawing plate is difficult to draw on because I can't get the board to light up when you draw on it. It also stays on, most toys will turn themselves off after 5 minutes or so. Not the case here, so you need to keep track to see if it has been turned off. Other than that, I think it's a neat toy.

Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board
I got the Crayola Glow Board for my five year old son and he loved it! For him the fun came from the unique effects he could make on the two panel drawing surface and then turn of the lights to see how they glow.
At first he was just drawing lines and shapes just to see the glowing effect when he turned out the lights. Then we found on Crayola.com that there were a bunch of print outs he could use to trace. They even have a program that lets him make his own two frame drawing on Crayola.com then print them out to trace on the Glow Board.
The best part for us was how much it keep him entered on a long road trip we recently did. Once it started to get e bit dark outside he was able to draw in the dark. He even made a sign that read "Are we there yet"!
FANTASTIC! November 24, 2008

I purchased this item for each of my sons as they love to draw with markers. My older son is creating masterpieces at 4 while his younger brother, even at 19 months, is having a blast. I draw with him and it's a fun way for us to practice colors and shapes.
Yes, you must have darkness for the pictures to glow, but what do you expect? It has to be dark for the lights to illuminate. I have not had any problem with the glow intensity of the markers. With the lights out they're brilliant and my boys love them. We especially like the underlying board, which allows you to draw a picture underneath the top board for a cool two dimensioanl effect.
I have used a soft wet cloth to clean and used a dry cloth to dry. I haven't had any issues yet and no scratches.
I can proudly say that this item keeps my two very active boys busy for a nice chunk of time and since they each have their own, NO FIGHTING! My only concern at this point is that if they continue to use the boards at this rate, the markers will dry out.
I definitely recommend this prodcut!
clean with water and paper towel-- use again and again December 27, 2007

while good for kids (it cleans with DAMP PAPER TOWEL, NOT DRY, and quite easily at that), kids may not appreciate the 2-tiered animation effect.
Crayola: where are the extra markers to buy? Mine are lasting well, but ???
This gadget should be marketed to small businesses-- it is an excellent low-cost way to create a simple eye-catching message that is easily changed. It's doing wonders for our Broadway theatre.
