LCD Writing Tablet for Kids, 6.5, 8.5 and 12 Inch Sizes

An LCD writing tablet for kids in three sizes: 6.5, 8.5 and 12 inch. Children write and draw on the screen with the stylus, then press one button to clear it and start again, with no paper, no ink and nothing to charge. It’s a simple, reusable pad for practising letters and numbers, doodling, and keeping little hands busy on long drives and in waiting rooms.

The screen is pressure-sensitive, so lines are thin when your child writes lightly and thicker when they press harder, much like a pencil. The lines show in bright colours on a black screen, and because the screen isn’t backlit, it’s seen by room light like paper. A small button cell powers only the erase button; writing uses no power at all, so this LCD writing tablet keeps working through load-shedding.

Why you’ll like it

Which size to choose

• 6.5 inch: the smallest and lightest, good for toddlers, travel and quick doodles.
• 8.5 inch: an everyday size for writing practice, sums and drawing.
• 12 inch: the biggest screen, with room for whole words and bigger pictures, and handy for older children and adults taking notes.

Looking after it

• Write only with the stylus; sharp pencils and pens can scratch the screen.
• Don’t press hard with anything pointed, and don’t bend the tablet.
• Keep it away from water and strong summer sun.
• If the screen stops clearing, the button cell probably needs replacing.

Tip: make it a game. Write a letter or number at the top, let your child copy it underneath, then let them press erase.
