How does the Animated Glow Board work?
Create glowing, animated artwork with a little bit of magic. Use the special Glow Reveal markers to draw or trace your design, then press the Effects button to watch your artwork light up and come to life.
Why can’t I see the marker ink while I’m drawing?
That’s part of the fun. The ink is specially designed to appear only under the Glow Board light, so your artwork is revealed in a glowing surprise when the board is activated.
How do I get started?
It’s easy to jump right in:
- Use the included Glow Reveal markers to draw or trace
- Insert both clear panels into the board
- Turn off the room lights
- Press the Effects button to reveal your glowing creation
What do the light modes do?
Bring your art to life with different lighting effects. Press the Effects button to cycle through:
- Front panel lights up
- Back panel lights up
- Both panels light up together
- Flashing animation mode for extra movement and fun
Why aren’t the lights working?
A quick check can get you glowing again:
- Make sure both clear panels are fully inserted and clicked into place
- Confirm the batteries are installed correctly
What markers should I use with the Glow Board?
For the best glowing results, use the included Glow Reveal markers designed just for this board.
How do I clean the drawing panels?
Freshen up your canvas by wiping the panels with a damp cloth or paper towel. Let them dry completely, and you’re ready to create again.
How do I turn the board off?
When you’re finished, press and hold any button for about 5 seconds to power off.
What batteries does it require?
The Glow Board uses 3 AA batteries (not included) to power all the glowing effects.
Can I remove the panels to draw or trace?
Yes. You can remove the panels or lay the board flat to make drawing and tracing even easier.
How should I store the Glow Board?
Keep everything ready for next time:
- Store the unit clean and dry
