Great ideas! My girls are OBSESSED with their Magna Doodles. They call them “Doodle Pads”

When I used to babysit, we’d play drawing games where we take turns putting some kind of scribble on the board and the other have to complete the drawing. It was really fun and it’s amazing what the kids see in a scribble =)

In reply to Olivia. Wonderful idea, Olivia! I love that there's no waste with your suggestion, and that errors are so easy to erase and correct.

I have a 7 year old second grader. We still use the magnadoodle for practicing spelling words. He gets practice writing and seeing the words, and when they are wrong it’s easy to cross out or erase.

In reply to Margarita Ibbott ~ @DownshiftingPRO. I hear you, Margarita. The blogosphere is such a blessing when it comes to my daycare, but it wasn't around when my own boys were little. I sure wish it had been!

My kids love our Magna Doodle and play with it often, but I never realized there were so many ways to extend its use. I love that I draw, you draw game. I’m going to play that one with my kids as soon as they wake up from their naps! 🙂

I’ve never seen or heard of anyone using a Magna Doodle in such innovative ways! You’ve inspired me …. my son’s handwriting and drawing skills are weak and I think he’d find these games very fun!

I happened onto this post from Pinterest. Our girls (4-year old twins) LOVE their magnadoodle…I definitely credit it with them learning to write so early. We play a lot of these games already, but it’s nice to see them echoed somewhere else. I’m now following you on FB and Pinterest. Thanks for the inspiration!

You know something when my kids were little this was definitely one of their most favorite toys but I would never have thought of adding these games to it…too bad there were no blogs then
