The Lumi Board isa portable, light-up drawing machine designed to help children aged 4 and up learn to draw through tracing. It uses a light projection system that illuminates templates from below, allowing kids to trace designs onto standard A4 paper.
Key Features and How It Work
The device functions as a specialized lightbox that guides a child’s development through various artistic stages.
Light Projection System: Children slide a template into the machine, turn a selection wheel to choose an image, and activate the integrated LED light to project the design onto their paper.
Progressive Difficulty: The set includes 250 image templates across 5 levels of difficulty, ranging from simple shapes to complex compositions.
Custom Compositions: Beyond single images, children can combine multiple templates to create original scenes.
Portable Design: The board is designed as a "creative briefcase" with storage for markers, paper, and films, making it suitable for travel.
Independent Play: Reviewers from The Independent noted that the board's simple "slide and turn" mechanism allows children to use it entirely on their own.
