Using your Sketch Pals e - Writer is a breeze! You can use the attached stylus or even your fingernail to doodle on the board. To clear the doodles, just give the pal's nose a push and watch the board erase itself right away. It's great for kids aged 4 and up to use their imagination. When taking it out, you don't have to worry about losing the stylus as it's attached. Since it uses LCD technology, you don't need any special markers. Just grab whatever's nearby. Remember to keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratching the board. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Enjoy hours of screen - free fun with your Sketch Pals!
