We purchased this toy for our son when he was approximately 18mos old.  We are very pleased with the Fisher Price Little People Doodle Pro.  Our son is about to turn 4 and he is still using it.

This toy has the capability to grow with your child.  The circle, square, and triangle make great stamping fun for infants and toddlers.  It is a good way to teach the names of the shapes and what objects they can make when you put the shapes together.  My son enjoyed experimenting with the magnets and the easy-to-use sliding eraser.  Now, as a preschooler, he uses the Doodle Pro, not only to draw, but to practice writing his alphabet and even words.

From a practical standpoint, this item is mess-free, portable, has very few parts, and is durable.  Ours has been both dropped and stood upon.

The only reason why I did not rate it as 5 stars is because, after about 1 year of use, the board will not erase completely anymore.  My son does not seem to mind a little grey here and there though.

I had the same frustration with ours but it was still a worthwhile toy as you said.
