Go Art Flip Book from ebeanstalk!!

This week I received a Go Art Flip Book from ebeanstalk. This book is a metal like case with a zipper on it. When you open it up, there is a pen, 2 tablets, and 4 stencils. So to start off I tried it out! It was kinda of fun! A little difficult to make sure the little man was positioned at about the same spot on the page, so he wasn't jumping all over. Then I let my two kiddos try it out. They both enjoyed playing with it, but the task of keeping the guy in the correct spot was a LOT harder for them! They enjoyed having me do it as best I could and then playing with it and watching the drawings "move"!! There are a few things on it that I would have liked to see differently! Mainly, if there was a way of having a marking somewhere in the stencil or something to help to line it up correctly!! I do love though that it all is contained perfectly in the little zipped up book!! And I am sure if my kids were a bit older it may have been a bit easier for them, but at 6 and 8 they had kind of a hard time doing it. Either the stencil would move on them or they just didn't have it lined up in the right spot so it looked a little different, but they enjoyed playing with it! I can see it being something that could keep their attention once in a while!! Especially if more than 4 stencils were available, or if we can figure out how to add other things to them like, maybe a bouncing ball or something! Should be fun to see what all we can do with it!!
