I babysit an adorable one-year old boy who occasionally brings the Fisher Price Little People Doodle Pro with him to my house.  I was surprised at how much MY kids love this toy!  When the toddler isn't playing with it, my kids are usually fighting over who gets to draw on it first. 

My daughter, age three, loves to draw pictures and is also starting to practice writing letters on the Doodle Pro.  My son, almost five, gets a kick out of drawing superheros and scary animals.  I also admit that there have been times when I've had fun using the Doodle Pro myself and the kids have had to pry it out of my hands when it was their turn.

My kids don't mind that this particular Doodle Pro is missing the three shape stampers and are content to draw on it for up to half an hour per sitting (a long time for busy kids).  I like that it's a quiet activity that can also be educational. 

The Fisher Price Little People Doodle Pro is an excellent toy for taking along on trips or when you know that your little one will have to sit still for a while.  It's easy to carry and you don't have to worry about the magnetic pen getting lost since it's attached to the top of the toy.  I can't vouch for the shape stampers though since this one is missing the pieces.

Another thing that is great about this toy is that my kids use less paper since they would rather draw on the Doodle Pro.  I'm always enthusiastic about toys that help to keep our environment clean. 

I really like the Fisher Price Little People Doodle Pro and plan to buy at least one for my children for Christmas this year.  Although, if I am smart, I will buy two so that there is no fighting over it.  Fighting between the kids and I that is.

I think this would be a perfect Christmas gift for a couple of little people we know. Thanks for the idea.
