by debjoy2204 , Dec 27 '05

Packing Peanuts and Styrofoam More Fun than Magic Board

by innesj77 , Nov 14 '05
Pros: Good Concept.
Cons: Product doesn't work; Kids can't use it. I can't even use it.
This product has ruined my kids' morning. My 5-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter received Marvin's Magic Drawing Board as a birthday gift from a relative. She had it shipped to our house from QVC. It sat, correct side up, in the QVC box ...

Not a Good Imitation of Childhood Art Class Project

by sshelle Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 07 '05
Pros: glow-in-the-dark background provides a few minutes of fascination for toddlers
Cons: doesn't provide clear, sharp pictures; need paper towels to erase markers; not as advertised
This reminds me of elementary art class. We had some randomly colored paper that was covered in black wax, and we took sharp instruments and scratched a picture into it, revealing different colors as we went. We ended up with a multicolored 'sketch' on ...

looks better on tv

by germangirl , Apr 15 '02
Pros: No Mess
Cons: not as great as seen on tv
My husband and I thought it would be a great toy for in the car to keep them calm while we drove for a quick vacation 6 hours away. But every couple of min I had to erase the board because it is not so easy when all the ink is on one side of the board....

Has anyone read the instructions?!

by hane , Aug 05 '01
Pros: Creates colorful pictures with no crayons, no paints and no MESS!
Cons: learning curve involved
I saw the board advertised and bought it for my boy of 7 around 2 months ago.

On opening it and using it, as others have voiced it does not perform like in the commercial.

However, there is actually a large printed instruction...

Pros: Doesn't make a mess.
Cons: Doesn't work like the advertisement shows. Hard for young kids to use.
My 9 year old daughter watched the commercial for Marvin's Magic Drawing Board every day on TV. She kept begging for it. I have to admit, when I saw the commercial I thought that it would be great! It looked so easy to use and fun too. So, finally I...

Marvin's Magic Drawing Board -- How to make your money disappear.

by DukeSunflow , Mar 28 '01
Pros: Proves Barnum was right. Target took it back.
Cons: Provides your child all of the fun of a hairdryer in a tub.
Okay, there's a certain expectation about stuff you buy from TV. It will sound cheap, end up being cheap, and seldom work as advertised.

That said, who among us didn't have a certain desire to see a cool Marvin's Magic board in action?...

Shoot the advertiser!

by Misticke , Mar 27 '01
Pros: Creates great pictures, easy to clean, no mess, non toxic.
Cons: To hard for most children and/or adults to erase.
I remember doing art similar to this in school. It was a bit harder though. First you take a bunch of different colors. I always chose blue, yellow, green, red and orange. You randomly color a whole sheet of white paper, pressing firmly with each...

Nothing Magic here!

by brened , Mar 22 '01
Pros: Free color changing pens.
Cons: Magic Marvin's Magic Drawing Board!
The TV commercial looks great. Watching the obviously grown person make the drawings looks easy enough....I can't even get the thing to work. My 6 year old son got so frustrated with it his first day with it he has never picked it up again!

Marvin needs to try again!

by missi31 , Jan 23 '01
Pros: looked good on TV
Cons: was a waste of money
My kids got this from Santa. It is now sitting at the bottom of the closet. What a piece of garbage.

No Accounting for (a 4-Year-Old's) Taste!

by HollyJahangiri , Dec 31 '00
Pros: comes with cool color-changing markers, hasn't leaked black goop yet, 4-year old finds it entertaining (and it WAS a gift to HIM, anyway)
Cons: doesn't perform as advertised, isn't worth the price
My son got Marvin's Magic Drawing Board as a Christmas gift.

Cute idea, but very poor execution

As described, it's a plastic frame, a psychedelic-colored background, and a layer of transparent material filled with...
