Recently, I stumbled upon one of the coolest new toys for all age groups, including adults! My 9-year-old first discovered a Boogie Board (no, not the beach boogie board!) at a friend’s house and fell in love with it. When it came under our roof, all four of my children ages 6-11 were fighting over this gadget and we just had to get one. Or four. The Boogie Board LCD writing tablet is my new go-to gift for preschoolers, elementary AND middle schoolers. This is awesome for airplane travel. We even have one for the car – no need for pen & paper ever again!
The Boogie Board 8.5″ LCD Writing Tablet by Improv Electronics started a revolution. Ultra light (4 oz.) and thin (1/8″). One just isn’t enough. Get one for on the go, in the office and multiple places around the house. Almost anywhere you’d keep memo pads, sticky notes or scrap paper.
Here’s how it works:
-Sealed 3V watch battery never needs replacing.
-The Boogie Board tablet is an ultra 1/8″ thin and is easy to take with you in a purse, scheduler, briefcase or backpack.
-The case and LCD are made from durable plastic materials. Safe for school use and all around the house, office and car.
-The Boogie Board tablet’s pressure-sensitive LCD writing surface creates lines of different thickness based on how hard you push – just like paper and pen!
-Includes: Boogie Board 8.5 Tablet, Stylus, Cleaning Cloth, User Guide
-Write or draw with the included stainless steel stylus or any other suitable instrument – even your finger! You’ll never need to search for a pen or pencil again!
-Super fun colors: black, silver, gold, white, yellow, cyan, green, pink, red
-Retails for $39.99-$42.99
You can find the Boogie Boards locally at Toys & Co in Cotswold and Park Road Shopping Center. Call ahead, these sell out as soon as they hit the shelves and trust me, they will be at the very top of the 2012 Christmas hot toys list! I would also recommend that you purchase a Boogie Board case as well to protect it in bags. You can never be too protective of electronics!
You can find Boogie Boards and all sorts of new LCD gadgets on the Improv website. Their gadgets are way cool!!
