Using the TOMY Lights Alive Megasketcher is super easy. You can use the nib at one end to colour each dot individually or the pizza - cutter style roller at the other end to draw lines or cover large areas. You can either draw freely or use the two templates that come with the toy. There are 8 different hidden colours on the board. To see the animated effects, just press the button at the top. After you finish your drawing, you can stand it up using the upstand at the back. When you want to start a new drawing, simply erase the old one. There's no need to worry about waste, mess, running out of paper, sharpening pencils, losing pegs or using glue. Since there are no small parts, it's safe for kids. Just keep it away from water and rough handling to make it last. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean it.
