I want to use this as a writing surface for 11 year old's in a Sunday school classroom setting. Would it work for that?

This lap pad has a textured surface, but as long as you are writing on a pad of paper I would think it would work quite well.

Cannot honestly answer that question because I use the table for setup on printer, battery back up, phone and other attachments and have never used it as a writing desk! Sorry. but I will tell you the one I have has a very smooth surface. God Bless!

The backing is white so that would work perfect. There is a shiney coating on each piece that may make it hard to write with certain writing instruments.

It could if you have a long page and are trying to write at the bottom of it. I think only in that instance it could be a problem, but I would not hesitate to use it for writing.

I'm am not sure about that. If they are small and magnetic it might work. My high schooler is using it for pictures and school related items. We have 2. They are sturdy and beautiful. Might be best to ask the seller....

I am using it for my 6 years old boy with out any problem. Very convenient to sit and write and also safe. For 8 years old may be little small but it depends on how tall is your girl. Sometimes I also use it for writing some quick notes :)

I think it would. I bought it for me a few years back and I am in my 50s. Of course it all depends on what you plan on using it for. I use mine to hold copy paper, things like that. I like them a lot. I have two medium and two larger ones.

I would not recommend it for children; it is very thin and breakable when it is not near adult supervision. This product I purchase is to be used to create precise stencil work for art designs and graphic illustrations. If the purpose is not for art or medical examinations (viewing x-rays); I would not recommended it beside too expensive for general uses especially with minors; there are other light tables or boxes you can use with kids and they can be found from your local art supply store or just check out Amazon's other collections that they have in their catalog.

Yes, it is not ideal for writing on.Plastic, it's one solid piece, real flat. Just the top is rubbery.I hope that helps. We love ours, it's perfect for my son.

The surface is certainly smooth enough to write on, it's very smooth. It also has about 16 tilt positions between straight up and laying flat.

This table top has a slight texture to it, not completely smooth. However I would think it would be fine to write on because it is minimal texture.

As a teacher, I would say no. It is repositional but a small child would have a difficult time keeping it from sticking to itself. I would suggest magnetic paint and magnets.

I personally would not consider this ideal for writing for extended periods of time. People don't realize this, but this lap desk is actually relatively heavy, sometimes to the point where my 13" MBP is on it and it's all on my lap and feels like its just crushing my legs- maybe I'm just sensitive..At any rate, if you plan on like writing your daily notes on it, then it would be okay for that. But if you're looking for a long term solid option, I would look around at other options first.

While not it's primary purpose, it would be sturdy enough to write on, and would hold supplies inside better than just a flat lap table. Why not try it! Best of luck!

Hi Nadine, I wouldn't recommend it for teaching. It's a good size for a personal board, but I wouldn't go below about twice the size of this for teaching (I'm a TA at a university and let me tell you: there is no such thing as too big a whiteboard).

No this will not work for school, blogging, yes. I bought this for my 8 yr old son to play games, emails, you tube . You need something a little more advanced for school.
