I’d definitely recommend Review: Fun, Robust, and usable almost everywhere - I bought this for my kids to paly with on rainy days! I'm so shocked that it sticks to everything ! You could literally take this on the train and keep your little ones entertained on the longest of journeys ! It even sticks to textured wallpaper, which only proves the quality, had this product for a while now and it's very robust. I have 5 children and apart from losing the odd piece what we do have is still in excellent working condition ! Very well made, and a fantastic product ! Thank you :) ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 8 years.
