Best part is with the press of a button you can erase it all. Slim and lightweight perfect for travel. It a mess free drawing favorite at my house and on the plane.
2. Plus Plus Blocks - The best blocks for on the go, these tube carriers will easily slide into any backpack, and the building possibilities are endless. Offered in two sizes "mini" and "big", the larger size is great for all ages and the mini are for those who have a little more hand dexterity. They are similar to the size of legos.
