An elderly Sketcher honeycomb, made in China, had been riddled with my son in expressionist Malexperimenten with the magnetic pen - it was smelly chemicals sauce from the combs out .... something has nothing to look for in the nursery! This drawing board works differently (without solvent / liquid) and has a much finer "typeface". Deleting working properly even without any return springs (see. Other reviews). The pin has a spring-loaded, retractable writing tip - thus the potential for destruction is likely to be low. I hope the powder in Sketcher is contaminant free ...
