Description
This sausage dog magic slate is a cheerful drawing board with a grey drawing window framed by a parade of dachshunds in brightly striped jumpers. The little dogs trot all the way around a cream border, dotted with red balls and green sprigs, their jumpers banded in pink, blue, green, orange and red. The drawing window measures 15cm long and 9.3cm wide, a generous space for a quick sketch, a game of noughts and crosses or a shopping list, and a red plastic stylus comes with it. A bright orange-red tab runs along one short side.
It works just as the classic magic slate always has: write, draw or doodle on the window with the stylus, then pull the side tab to erase it all and start again. There is no paper to run out of and no ink to spill, which makes it a handy toy to keep in the car, a rucksack or the kitchen drawer for train journeys, restaurant tables and rainy afternoons. At only 0.024KG it slips into a bag without adding any bulk. Anyone with a soft spot for sausage dogs will warm to the design, and it is just as useful on a desk beside the phone for jotting down a number or a reminder.
The construction is refreshingly simple: the window, the pull tab and the stylus, with nothing to plug in or set up. When it is not in use, the stylus tucks into a sleeve on the side tab, so it stays with the slate rather than rolling off under the sofa. Use only the stylus on the drawing window, and wipe the printed border with a soft dry cloth now and then to keep the stripes looking bright. As a small present it is easy to wrap, and we like it tucked in alongside a sketchbook and a few coloured pencils for anyone who loves to draw.
