one issue is do NOT over tighten the top
when you are putting in the batteries
at first really thought we broke it because the white is cracked
but upon opening another pen found that one too had the little crack in it
so now think they are supposed to be there
Only works with the hot dots items
we really like them with the math flash cards
kids use them for self checking when they are learning math facts
be sure to watch the pricing on them though
seems sometimes crazy high
would not pay more than $ a pen
at first they can be a little tricky to get the hang of using
but once you do it is easy and it even fits inside one of the flash card boxes
that is where we keep one of ours right inside the box of cards so we do not lose it

Best Deals for Educational Insights Talking Hot Dots Pen - Set of 6
I was originally sent 1 pen, when it clearly stated 6. After a bit of complaining they finally sent the rest of my pens. As far as the product goes, these are essential if you have the hot dots cards! They are durable and last, none of mine are broken and I have used them continuously for 2 years in a kindergarten classroom with 18 students (they are very rough with materials).
Honest reviews on Educational Insights Talking Hot Dots Pen - Set of 6
I bought these as a center for my Kindergarten classroom over the summer. By the time school started and I took them out of the packaging, the return window had expired, otherwise, I would have returned them. They're great, I love them, and they are extremely engaging for my students. But only 3 out of the 6 work. I just took them out of the boxes and put batteries in all of them, and half of them simply do not work. Obviously, I'm a little miffed, but hey, if you get a batch that has 6 working pens, it's a great product.
