We have given this magic board our daughter to their 2nd birthday and next to a tape recorder, this is the gift !!! All have to paint it, they stamp and scribbles and carries the panel around constantly. Sure, the lines are not fine, so delicate works of art one can not paint it, but because we adults probably too high a claim. For durability, I can not say much, for two weeks painted and times get rough on her and so far everything is still all. For the price completely ok and here is one above all the fun factor and is given in any case!
