I was driving home yesterday in the dark and as we got caught in traffic…I started thinking about one of my favorite toys that I wished I had in the car. There’s something about being caught in traffic that brings out my inner eight year old. Last year’s Platinum Award winner, the Crayola Glow Station. Read our complete review.
We’re eager to test Spin Master’s new Glodoodle ($19.99/available this fall)…It promises to be a light up drawing platform. Much like the classic Magna Doodle in design (with a stylus) or last year’s Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award winning Glow Station from Crayola that is now available in a travel size. You can draw on this board and then with a push of the button the image is suppose to clear completely. Maybe because I grew up making long car trips — I always wanted something that I could play with in the back seat. I know it would have cut down on the number of shoving fights with my brothers. I guess in an era of built in DVD players in the car, it’s not the same issue–but it’s still nice to have a creative outlet that works after dark.
