My kids love things that light up, flash and make  noise! So, yes, my home is filled with those sorts of toys. They can be so annoying, but hey, at least my kids are having some fun!

Recently I was able to review the Digital Light Designer by Crayola. No, this thing does not talk (thank God!) but it does have a very  nice humming sound, when turned on. I can  handle that sound!

It is a really neat toy. You have to make sure it is on a flat surface or it won’t turn on properly because there is a thing on the bottom of it that has to stay pushed down, in order for it to even turn on.

Once it is turned on, it will make a whirling/humming sound. You then use the stylus that it comes with and press the little button on the end of the stylus and touch it to the light designer. You can then start drawing what ever you like. It is not very easy to draw little things, because the stylus is chunky and so are the pixels it creates. But drawing bigger pictures are doable.

Now, even though this is a fun toy, it can be confusing! If you don’t read the directions (who me?!) then you will not know what to do! So, read those directions 😉 Once you read the directions, you will know how to work this toy.

My daughter who is 5 enjoys this the most. My son is not very interested in it and he is 7. My baby 9 month old LOVES to watch his sister draw on it, so two kids loving this, is good in my book.

It is pixely so, when you draw, it may not look exactly how you want it. When you want to go to the ‘menu’ on this, you simply touch the stylus to the ring going around the bottom of the light designer. Once you do that, a screen will pull up. This is where you NEED to have read those directions, to figure out what the heck this menu is telling you, LOL.

You can choose colors, erase your pictures, save your pictures and more. You can even add cool effects to your drawings or create awesome animations. There’s also a game and activity mode for hours and hours of creative, light drawing fun! My daughter loves to use this before bed, in the dark!

All in all this is a good toy for the smaller kids. Read the directions and also be sure to check out their FAQ’s page to for helpful tips on how to use the Digital Light Designer. Oh, another thing I did not like is that this does require 2 AAA batteries and 4 D batteries. So make sure you have those on hand!! Lots of batteries, blah!

    What a fun flashy toy! I wonder how often the kids would play with it once the novelty wears off, though…

    This is really unique. I can see my daughter having a lot of fun with this.
    Although I wish that it came with an ac adapter.

    This is pretty cool! I have a daughter that loves to draw so she would probably love it. I think it’s kind of a neat way to get younger kids drawing digitally.

  20. June S. says

    October 20, 2013 at 6:59 am

    Wow! This toy is really neat, my grandson would be still a little too young to play with it. But I’ll have to remember about it when he gets a little older.

  21. Donna K says

    October 20, 2013 at 12:12 am

    It looks really cool. I think my son would love it.

    This is a really awesome toy. I know that my nephew would love to play with this when he gets older. But my niece would love it too.What a fun way to spend an afternoon with the kids. I bet they had fun.

  23. Desiree H says

    October 19, 2013 at 10:45 am

    That is so cool for kids. I think they have the coolest toys now for children! It kind of reminds me of Bright Lite toys.

    This looks like a cool toy that would keep your kids entertained for quite a while.

  27. Maria Iemma says

    October 17, 2013 at 1:01 pm

    My grandkids are a little too young for this toy this year but I am sure that in a couple of years they are going to be asking for it.

  28. Kelly Elswick says

    October 17, 2013 at 11:53 am

    This is neat! I think my 2 boys would love it.

  29. Mer says

    This sounds fun! And thanks for the heads up on the batteries…little’s worse than an new toy, excited kid and no batteries in the house!

  30. Robert says

    October 16, 2013 at 8:18 am

    now here’s something that will really let kids imagination shine.

  31. Cynthia C says

    October 15, 2013 at 8:46 am

    I think they should consider an AC adapter so it wouldn’t eat up so many batteries.

  32. Cynthia R says

    October 15, 2013 at 6:49 am

    how fun! This would be a great christmas gift for boys and girls of so many ages.

    Crayola always comes out with the most creative things.

  34. Rebecca Parsons says

    October 14, 2013 at 11:36 pm

    This is really neat and crayola never ceases to amaze me at their innovation.

  35. jennie sanderson says

    October 14, 2013 at 9:32 pm

    that is pretty awesome! I don’t know about all those batteries though, and two different kinds? We usually keep a lot of AAs but not triples or ds, crazy.

  36. Lisa Brown says

    October 14, 2013 at 1:22 pm

    love that thing. wow, batter hog 🙂

  37. Janet W. says

    October 14, 2013 at 11:55 am

    That is a really neat product. Too bad it requires so many batteries!! That gets very expensive after awhile.

  38. Anita L says

    October 12, 2013 at 5:00 am

    This kind of reminds me of the lite brite toy that was around when I was young, without the extra’s. I learned while my son was little to stay away from toys that make noises. After awhile, it will drive you mad!!

  39. Claira Pam says

    October 11, 2013 at 10:36 am

    This is so neat!! Reminds me a little of Lite Brite (which I *loved* as a child)!

  40. Sandra Beeman says

    October 9, 2013 at 1:02 pm

    I just love this toy! Sort of like a disco ball for kids who love to draw. maybe somebody will buy it for me for Christmas!!

  41. courtney hennagir says

    October 9, 2013 at 10:50 am

    my son has been asking for one of these. i hate that it takes so many darn batteries but i know he would love it.thanks for the helpful review!

  42. Marcie W. says

    How super cool! It’s like the old school Lite Brite toy that has grown with today’s technology. Great!
