Penguin wibbles and wobbles but doesn't draw.
This toy was purchased for my four year olds birthday. It will complete two instructions then sticks and wont move even though we can hear the motors moving. Very disapointing even though we have tried a variety of paper and surfaces to run it on.

It looked great in the telly adverts, but when we opened it to see the instructions, well, lets say, you need a good second or third read to fully comprehend its potential. But it failed to deliver once you knew the length of time it takes to draw.
* Basically there is a switch on its back side which allows you to make the penguin draw in an unbroken line (often quicker) or in a dotted line (takes much longer) format.
* The two flippers each have five settings (different angles) and using the two flippers in combination, you can create a multitude of pre-programmed pictures - these are set out in the instructions and you'd best not loose it, as it's your guide to what you want it to draw.
* An additional switch allows you to draw :
(i). pictures of stuff like scenes, animals and objects, as opposed to
(ii). educational pic such as mazes, numbers (1 to 6) and letters (Aa to Dd) (suited I think to 3 to 4 year olds in nursery class).
(Recap: 5 (left flipper settings ) x 5 (right flipper settings) x 2 (types of pictures) = 50 separate pre-programmed images to chose from, and then your choice of whole or broken lines for each picture)
* The button on it's belly starts the penguin, though there is an on/off switch on the underside.
Take the cap off the felt-tip pen and put aside, remove the red ear muffs on the penguin and stick the felt pen in the hole in its head all the way down until you can't push it in anymore. To remove the pen, use the cap which has enough grip to enable you to pull the pen out.
We didn't tape the paper down, although we did place it on a flat surface (table). When the thing finished drawing, there were unclosed areas which didn't match the promise in the pics. However, this could be due to the paper moving as the penguin was moving...
Once you got the hang of it's eccentricities it's an OK toy, nothing special. The thing which was the greatest boredom factor was the time it took to draw the images, often 5 to 10 minutes just for an outline drawing. What does one do with the finished outline drawings? Colour it in of course. But, is your child a colouring in fan? Mine isn't...
I give it 2 stars because it failed to hold the child's attention during its operation, and this influenced his choosing not to play with it after the first couple of days of owning it. If you consider a worthwhile toy by measuring the child's return to it over time, then this toy failed to hold his attention. Purely on function alone, it does as the instructions says, and makes the pictures. The review asks about durability - if it's not getting used, it will last forever, wouldn't it? In the end, it's an expensive but pretty table ornament.

Recently bought this after my 5 yr old put it on her birthday list. Unfortunately Doodle P was a HUGE disappointment, quite simply he doesnt do what it says on the box ! Cue one very disappointed Birthday girl and one very fed up Mom ! As the previous review states he takes forever to "Draw" something, which normally is just some random scribbles that in no way resemble a picture. I would avoid buying, save your your money. Im going to attempt a refund as the poor thing is not fit for purpose. Mind you as my hubby has just pointed out he may just be depressed and expressing himself, wouldnt you, miles from home with a felt tip inserted somewhere painful!!!
