These are 125 post it note size scratch its, seem simple and a little silly. My kids (3 to 25) LOVE it. I only put out about a dozen and they are already (23 minutes after delivery) asking for more. I am very thankful that it is not an expensive product, and am hoping that the novelty will soon wear off. These were purchased for the child with a 5 minute attention span. These are perfect, each mini work of art takes about 5 minutes. She just keeps coming back to them. This makes this a BIG DEAL toy/art at our house. The apparent best part for her seems to be that they, wonderful things they are, also come in a "custom" dispenser box. I imagine I will be purchasing MANY MANY more of these.

Wonderful in the classroom

I'm a Kindergarten-8th grade art teacher and use these at the end of my classes in any left-over time after clean-up. The kids go crazy over them (I've had a lot of instances of kids begging for extra, and even attempting to steal them). They are wonderful because they are so cheap for the amount, and entrance rowdy children. I mostly use them in the last 5-10 minutes of class after clean-up from an intense project. The kids focus their energy on these immediately and calm down, ready to move back into their regular studies. They also work great as rewards. They only come with 1 stick for the 120-something sheets, so if you are using these in a classroom you will need to order additional styluses. Some packages have a variety of color schemes, and some packages have sheets with only red, green, and yellow on them, which bums out some of my kids who have seen the more colorful ones. I've ordered about 10 of these cubes in the last few months and half of them had many colors, and the other half were of the red, green, yellow variety.

Small. just like post-it notes

Due size I recommend to use a toothpick to draw instead of the stick provided in the set. Nice quality. It just peel off the part you remove, i mean, if you draw a line you will get a neat line. Other brands peel off more then your drawings . The size es very small. Just like post-it notes. But the small box have many mini notes so you shoul have a lot of fun! *We use them to make Christmas cards by glueing 2 together on speciality paper.....SUCCESS!! *We use them as gift tags.....SUCCESS!! Great as non-messy craft for kids while waiting at doctor's office, or waiting for dinner or any time. Store some in your car for road trips

Great buy!

These are so fun to have around! They scratch off perfectly and not like others that you struggle with just to see any line of color. I'm looking forward to encourage the kids to write fun notes/pictures for each other, friends, and family. Perfect for birthday cards. I love them and am looking forward to add fun notes in the kids lunch box and backpack :) My only complain is that I wish it came with a couple more sticks. Four sticks would have been perfect!

Love these!!!

Bought these compulsively but got to say, I LOVE them! They aren't sticky so they are pretty much useless for anything practical, but if your looking for something to take up space and be fun, BUY THESE! They come with a little wood stylus that works great, super easy to use, and in good condition(not all scratched up already). I have noticed prices change a lot on Amazon but if these are $10 or less, totally worth the price.I would definitely recommend and buy again.

The BEST

These are the most fun things ever. I've gotten my niece and nephew a variety of the scratch art projects, but when I found these I knew I could stock up and let them create their own art and patterns. The trouble now is getting them to pace themselves through the pack! My sister is an artist and also took a stab, creating gorgeous, post-it sized artworks for the fridge. I will get these for anyone who has kids between 5-15 from now on.

good for the kids

we are always looking for inexpensive and non electronic toys for our kids (6,4,3). these are great. they can scratch til their hearts content and make interesting things out of them. the little black scratchings are annoying, but if you have an issue with that, you should not be buying products like this at all. it's not a product flaw really, would be like complaining about the shells of eggs. it just comes with the territory.

Fun for adults!

I love this little scratch art pad. Sometimes I just need a break and a little distraction to let my brain breathe so I pull this out and make all sorts of designs. You do get a little of a mess by scratching the black off but I usually have a big mess cause I end up scratching the whole thing off. Can't help it. Kid at heart I guess.

Fun for the whole family!

My family LOVED these! I purchased them for my niece's 7th birthday along with a separate art kit and extra wooden styluses to scratch (I felt that the one that came with the box would go missing fairly quickly with a 7 year old). Well, upon opening the box, she had no idea what it was so, I had to show her. I wrote her name in cursive on one of the sheets AND the rest is history! Her eyes grew big in childlike awe while she grabbed a sheet for herself. After showing her mother and the rest of the adults around, we quickly had 6 adults at the dining room table scribbling along with her. It's so cool and yet simple. She LOVED it, we LOVED it. It was definitely a win for the family and we had something to do other than watching movies and playing the same old board games (it rained all weekend). There is a slight odor to the sheets when opening the box initially but nothing really notable in our case. But, we also used them in a huge, open space. I will be purchasing these again and would definitely recommend!

~ Well-Loved by ALL ~

I purchased this for the grand kids (mostly) to enjoy when they come to visit. However, EVERYONE enjoys them, kids, adults, and everyone in between. I will put them out on the table when we are visiting and I always end up with lots of cute pictures to hang on the fridge or wherever. If I don't already have it out on the table, the kids will usually ask if they can do scratch art Melissa & Doug Scratch Art Rainbow Mini Notes (125 ct) With Wooden Stylus. For this price, they can enjoy a lot of scratch art! For Christmas this year, they each received a Melissa & Doug Scratch Art Sketch Pad With 12 Scratch-Art Boards and Wooden Stylus and I sent a Melissa & Doug Deluxe Combo Scratch Art Set: 16 Boards, 2 Stylus Tools, 3 Frames to a niece. Each of these scratch art choices have been happily received and loved. Great gifts! Great to have on hand! Love them and, more importantly, so do the kids!!
