Isaac, Eliza and Sebastian love to draw.
In fact, they each have their own doodle pads which are filled with their sketches. Isaac loves to draw cartoon style characters, whereas Eliza tries her best to portray real life. Sebby on the other hand, is still at the stick people stage and we have to make our best guesses at what he has drawn.
We were sent the SmART sketcher Projector to review and the kids couldn’t wait to try it.
In the box is the smART sketcher projector, an AC adapter and a memory card. You can also use batteries if you choose and it takes 4 x D batteries (not included).
On the memory card are pre-loaded ‘learn to draw’ pictures or you can use the free downloadable app to load your own photos, available on App Store, Amazon and Google Play.
On the front of the smART sketcher there are easy to use buttons for moving through the drawing steps and choosing new pictures to draw.
The kids LOVE it, so much so that I have gone through a whole pad of paper in two days as they want to draw everything. Isaac prefers taking pictures and let the app turn them into drawings and then projecting them onto paper so he can trace them.
Eliza and Sebby on the other hand, enjoy copying all the pictures on the memory card.
It is also helping Sebby with his handwriting as it has letters to trace too.
Much as they love it, I have a couple of small issues with it. The A/C adapter is not long enough, although this can be solved with the addition of batteries and you cannot adjust the height of the smART sketcher to make your pictures fill the page, unless you stand it on a box, or books.
That said, with 50+ smART activities with interactive sounds and special effects, it is a great toy and is going to keep the kids occupied for hours.
The smART sketcher projector is available from all good toy shops and has an RRP of £69.99 although is currently on offer at £64.99 in Smyths Toy Shop.
This looks a great product! I love creative stuff like this and would have been all over it as a kid!
What a fun product! My niece and nephew are both quite arty so I think they’d love this x
This is such a cool toy! It can definitely develop the creative side of a child. I would have loved to have this when I was little.
I have seen this advertised on TV and my youngest already has it on her Christmas list. It looks so cool..
My son is super creative and he would have loved this when he was younger. Gadgets like this help foster creativity and make great presents. Looks like Sebby is going to be a Van Gough!
This looks like such a fun and creative product – I could definitely see Jack enjoying this!
That is one smart drawing of that turtle! This looks to be a fun item for kids….
My kids would love this a lot. I love the fact that it is great for ages 5 – 105. That means I can play too!
This is a great idea to help kids draw and my mummy my would like it to trace items. Bet it’s hours of fun x
Lucas is really into drawing and crafts at the moment this looks ideal for him. Some great drawings created
We have this too and the girls are loving it! It is such a great idea!
I love this, it reminds me of something I had when I was young, I love that its pre-loaded and kids can learn quite easily. I am still not good at drawing but moved past the stick figures
Wow that’s really clever! This is going to be very popular this Christmas
This is brilliant! This toy could help kids discover their passion for drawing or anything art related. Would love to give this to my nieces on the holidays 🙂
Is there a way to adjust the size of the images ? I’ve been trying to contact the makers for 3 weeks and still haven’t received a reply
The only way we have managed it is to stand the Smart Sketcher on a book
I am search for my daughter’s birthday gift! This projector is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
This projector looks amazing. My nephew is quite arty so I think he’d love this.
