Great for night travel!
My age-6 child enjoys this toy a lot. It does require 3AAA batteries, but it wasn’t difficult to put them in. Love that the tablet has a pen holder. When used in a dark room or car, the marks take a long time to fade, but we discovered it could be “reset” by putting it under a normal lightbulb or sunlight. This would be annoying in a car or plane. It would be smart for Crayola to make a double-sided board instead of using the back only for suction cups. This way, you have a fresh drawing surface to use while the other side fades to blank. It seems like most kids would only want this on their lap, instead of beside them on a window anyway.

Perfect for End of Day Play
The travel glow art studio was way better than I thought it would be. It is a great way to unwind and do some drawing and doodling at the end of a day. The drawings do not last very long so once a drawing is finished it fades relatively quickly allowing more chances to draw. It is easy to take on the go and would be a perfect activity if you are driving in the evening and it gets dark. They could draw on this in the backseat and be entertained. My kids were also using it to play never ending tic tac toe games. As soon as they ran out of room, older games would fade and they could keep playing more games.

Simple but satisfying nighttime fun
This was a hit with all 3 of my kids (ages 11, 8, and 4). My 8 and 4-year-olds particularly enjoy using it and like to play with it for a few minutes after lights out in the evenings. I always worry that glow products like this won't be very vibrant, but this one actually glowed pretty brightly. The kids liked that they could change the boldness of the glowing lines by moving the glowing pen closer to or farther away. Their only complaint was that there is no way to erase a drawing. You have to have the patience to wait a minute or two for one picture to fade before you can draw another one.

Great for the car!
The Crayola Travel Glow Art Studio is a fun and easy activity for the car or at home. My 4 year old loves it even though it is intended for 6+. It does require batteries so it does need a little assembly. Pros: It is lightweight and easily stores all in one place. Quick and easy setup & clean up. Great for on the go or a fun night time activity. Cons: The light on the pen is very bright, it bothered both my eyes & my sons eyes so I wouldn’t recommend this activity for complete darkness, but with some other lighting it still works just fine. It takes a while to “erase” the doodles. There is no button to reset it to start on a clean slate. Overall we enjoy this product and have had a lot of fun with it!

Even my littles loved it!
Initially I was worried when we received this and the age is for older kids but it quickly became one of our favorite toys here! My 3 year old has no trouble using it and even my 21 month old can do it independently! the travel aspect of it with the storage area for the pen is awesome. The only struggle is the suction cups on the back are SUPER strong and can’t be removed and put back on. For use in a window as it’s meant it’s great but if your kiddo uses it on a table be sure to put a towel or paper down first. This auctions too well to table surfaces! Overall it’s awesome!!

Fun for all ages
This product was given to me specifically for the purposes of review.
I was skeptical at first, but this toy won our family’s heart.
It works in daylight as well as in the dark. It just fades a lot quicker at night. All photos are during the day indoors. You can see anything written with the pen close to the tablet in bright light. A lit more effects are achieved in the dark (or even just a darker room). The glow lasts longer the darker it is, but it fades over time allowing for more drawing/writing.
My 2 year old loves it, as well as anyone who’s had a chance to play a bit. The only con for me is that it requires batteries for the pen. 3 AAA, to be exact. So you cannot play with it right out of the box.

Travel glow art studio
We love the travel glow art studio! It's such a cool concept and it is so much fun. My kids are complaining that we take it from them to play with ourselves! There is a slight learning curve for the kids as you write on the board by pressing the button to light up the pen and you have to remember to release the button when you move on to the next stroke (otherwise you'll have one continuous line). The suction cups are nice and big and strong so that it'll adhere to any smooth surface and really hold the board down. The picture will fade so any pictures drawn are transient....there is no eraser the picture will just disappear on its own. The glow is nice and bright and I can't wait to take it on the next road trip!

Mess-free boredom buster
The Travel Glow Art Studio provides a mess-free activity perfect for travel. The stylus is large enough that even the smallest children could use it with ease, as long as they remember to keep the button pressed while drawing. It also stores easily in the tablet.
Unfortunately, the drawing doesn’t last long without fading, and barely shows up indoors or in natural light. To play with it in the house, my child had to find a dark room to make it visible. However, this would be perfect for night car rides without being distracting to drivers and other passengers.
