The commercials for the Spectrcolor make it look like a light up "magnadoodle". It is not easy to make a distinct picture on this toy! My 2 and 4 year olds received this for XMas. The 4 year old became very frustrated that he couldn't make a distinct picture. My husband and I had a hard time of it. It is even dfficult to make the screen all 1 color. The 2 year old liked to run his hands over it to watch the colors change, but running his hands over the pointed lights made his fingers raw. Don't waste your money! Buy a LightBrite!
