We recently tested out the Glow Crazy Distance Doodler. Glow Crazy markets glow in the dark drawing products for kids, the Distance Doodler came with a Dual Beam Glow Hand, 2 large sheets of glow paper which stick to walls or surfaces in your home, 4 stencils, and a fun tip booklet. How the Distance Doodler works; you put the reusable (I use this term loosely) glow paper on a wall, door or other flat surface, turn out the light and use your Dual Glow Beam to "draw" on the paper to your hearts content. The drawing glows when you aim the "flashlight" and after a bit disappears so you can draw again. I would say this review was a little hit and miss for us. L really enjoyed the Glow Crazy and stayed in his room for quite a bit so that part was a big hit for us. What I didn't like? The glow paper didn't stick very well at all and I tried it in a few places. It wouldn't stick to any of the doors or walls I tried it on and I ended up having to tape it up to make it stay. When it fell down the sticky side adhered to the "glow stuff" on the front of the paper and it came off when I pulled the paper straight and re-stuck it back up. So only parts of the paper worked after that. We are also not a huge fan of the fact that you will need to buy another kit after your paper gets ruined. Glow Crazy does have a few other products though such as the Glow To Go and Doodle Dome that we think would be a better purchase. Although we have not tested them personally they eliminate the pesky paper that was the only thing we did not like about the product. The Glow To Go has a reusable "laptop" type product with "boards" inside that you can write on with the glow pen. The Doodle Dome is a large tent that your child can go inside of and write.
Glow Crazy products can be purchased in Canada at Walmart, Zellers, Toys R Us and Canadian Tire. They retail from $20-$30. In the US they can be purchased from their US based website.
