Doodle Writer on steroids
Remember the Doodle Writer, the writing-desk toy with the magnetic stylus that lets kids (or you) write without making a mess? Well, Pilot has the same thing in whiteboard size. It's called the CleanWriter Chalkless Board, and it's mainly being marketed as a whiteboard replacement for clean rooms. A coworker of mine just picked one up for the new playroom he's setting up for his two-year-old — I'll post an update when I find out how she likes it. (I know I'd think it was way cool at age two — or even age 35.)
