I fully admit that I must not have read the directions accurately before purchasing these. I was under the impression that you would scratch the paper to reveal the image below which is not the case. This is designed for you to try to copy the image on the page. Not what I was expecting and my kids quickly lost interest.
In theory this is a great product. My 5 yr old son loves drawing in his, he uses the pictures as reference to try and draw his own version. The scratch off is a novelty for him and he can't get marker anywhere. He does unfortunately leaves black flakes everywhere he sketches with this. They come off while drawing and get on his clothes, the couch, the table, whereever he is sitting. I have had to limit his sketching to the kitchen table to contain his mess.That being said we still bought him another one knowing of this flaw cause he really loves sketching in these.
I have purchased several of these scratch books but was disappointed by this one. The pages are almost all black and there is no space design to uncover, just a pattern. The other books have a picture that you scratch off to make a pattern, not just a blank black page. My 4 yr old boy was not impressed by this and actually refused to do it when he LOVES the previous other ones we have gotten. We gave it away and got him the zoo one which he uses.
This is a great Solar System tool. However my child was disappointed the scratch pages were blank without any direction or stencils to trace. Also some other scratch pages have a rainbow pattern similar to what is shown on the cover. These pages do not. My child was disappointed because of this.
My 7 year old got the Ancient Egypt version of this book. He loves it and seeks it out on his own to occupy his time. When it was time to buy a birthday present for his friend turning 8 he suggested this book. His friend loved it and sat right down while opening presents to read and use it. His mom sent me a picture of him on the floor surrounded by legos and nerf toys working through the book. It's a great gift, a good book for travel, and a fun way to for your child to be creative and enjoy a book!
My Kids LOVED this scratch and sketch! Hours of fun. We take it with us everywhere! They love the colors, they love scratching to see what design is underneath and also designing their own scribbles. A great investment for some quiet time. I love that there are a variety of themes to choose from. It helps with their curiosity. I bought more!!!
My 7- year old daughter really wanted this book and when we got it, she wasnt disappointed at all! We lost the "pencil" immediately, so I cut down an extra dowel and stuck it in the pencil sharpener to make her a new one. There are lots and lots of activities to do in here and I have to admit that it was fun to watch her play with it
The other scratch and sketch books (like wild safari) had a picture on the left, and a blank page on the right to copy the picture from the left. However these space images are very complicated for kids to draw, and I don't understand what kids are supposed to do with the images. It's basically a book with interesting text and images, and blank scratch pages. It's not very interactive or interesting for my 6yo who otherwise loves to draw.
