I gave 2 little girls the Crayola Light-Up Tracing Pad. Most important thing to know is that you have to supply 3 batteries for the tracing pad to work. I taped 3 batteries to each gift, just incase my friend didn't have batteries. The pad was a super hit!! Both girls thought tracing was way fun. The pad comes with 12 short colored pencils, pictures to trace, and tracing paper. The girls are 4 yea walmart.com
