I was excited to buy one of these for my son, but after one day of use (in the living room only) somehow a few pieces of some material are stuck in between the layers inside causing some large air bubbles and preventing drawing in those spots. I don’t know if they were there originally or not, I only saw them when he asked me to draw him something.

I can’t see any way to remove them, apart from taking it all apart (and even then I don’t know if it would do more harm than good) and of course we already threw out the box so taking it back to the store isn’t an option.

Potentially a great product, but maybe a few bugs remain to be worked out…

Just an update on the replacement I received. After 3 weeks, it’s still in use and working well. While the novelty is less, it is used almost everyday.

Kellie, The company would like to send you a replacement to test. Please email me your address to stephanie@toyportfolio.com. There have been updates to the product–so hopefully the erasing issue will be better now. We will also try it again here. It seems like we all want this one to work–because it is so much fun when it’s working properly.

That’s disappointing to hear. We had high hopes for this toy because the drawing aspect of it is so much fun. It does seem to need a better mechanism for erasing. Thanks for your feedback!

We got the GloDoodle for our son to take on vacation. I was a bit disappointed at first because it didn’t seem very sturdy but it kept him occupied for the whole ride and was pretty cool to use. However, our screen also cracked while erasing after only one week of moderate use. It is a great, fun toy but not so long-lasting.

Is the GloDoodle on the market yet? We can’t find where to buy one.

Wow–that’s not good news. Did you bring it back? Or contact Spinmaster? It shouldn’t break on the first week out.
