I bought these shoes for a friend's 3 yr. old little girl who just adores them. I would like to share a very cute story about this innovative little girl named Gra Gra (my name for her) and her "magical light up sketcher shoes". Her mother and I were out shopping and were driving home after dark and Gra Gra who was in the back seat (car seat) asked me to "turn the light on." I explained to her that having the light on made it hard for me to see while driving at night. Gra Gra then replied "it's ok I don't need a light on, I have my own lights on." When I turned around to look she had her feet up in the air and was clapping her feet/"magical sketcher shoes" together thus creating an array of bright colored lights for her to see by, feel safe and enjoy the rest of the way home. The shoes have been truly "Magical". Thank you
