This has been one of those toys that actually gets used instead of being forgotten after a day. My daughter loves going through the cards and deciding what she wants SketchBot to draw next. It’s really nice watching her concentrate on following each step, and she gets genuinely excited when she finishes a picture she didn’t think she could draw before.
Honestly such a good screen-free activity. My little one normally gets frustrated when she can’t draw something properly, but having the robot show each step makes it much easier for her to follow. She’s been drawing every afternoon since we got it and loves adding her own colours and little details at the end.
There are heaps of different pictures to choose from which keeps it interesting. My son has already worked through animals, food and cars and then colours everything in afterwards.
Bought this for my kids because they've been getting really interested in drawing lately and it’s been fantastic. They love picking different cards and watching SketchBot show them how each picture comes together. It keeps them focused for ages and they're already getting much more confident drawing by themselves.
My son loves choosing a card and watching the robot draw it step by step. He follows along with his own pencil and gets so proud when his picture starts looking the same.
During school holidays, the cousins copied each shape carefully; the robot kept interest, so the screen break worked. They proudly signed the page, and the learning never felt forced.
At the kitchen table, the children swapped to another card; the variety helped replay, and a favourite card emerged. They swapped turns without fuss, which gave the activity good replay value.
After school, our youngest tried several different cards; the copying became easier, and they proudly showed us. They swapped turns without fuss, and nobody asked for a tablet.
At grandparents' house, my granddaughter finished the whole page; the process stayed playful, so the practice never felt forced. They proudly signed the page, which helped them work more independently.
On a quiet evening, both kids selected a favourite card; the card choice felt fresh, and colouring continued afterwards. They started another drawing, and the finished work felt personal.
On the first try, both kids tried several different cards; the variety helped replay, and the next picture was chosen. They added their own background, and the card deck still felt fresh.
Over the weekend, both kids copied each shape carefully; the process stayed playful, so the card deck stayed interesting. They copied it once more, which made drawing feel much less intimidating.
After breakfast, my grandson drew alongside the robot; the drawing held attention, so the practice never felt forced. They started another drawing, and the robot stayed interesting throughout.
Before dinner, our youngest worked through two pictures; the colours added personality, so they kept experimenting. They drew a second version, and the finished work felt personal.
During art time, the cousins coloured the finished outline; the pace felt manageable, and they proudly showed us. They changed the colours completely, which made the whole session feel productive.
During school holidays, my nephew picked an animal card; the tracing felt natural, so drawing felt more inviting. They chose a new subject, and the learning never felt forced.
After school, the cousins practised simple line work; the colours added personality, so frustration stayed low. They changed the colours completely, and the art table stayed busy.
During a screen break, my nephew watched the pen move; the robot made it fun, and a favourite card emerged. They chose a second card, and the robot stayed interesting throughout.
