This pad can do a lot of things for kids, like games, drawing, makeup, and taking care of a dog! It also makes cute sounds, so I think kids will really enjoy it! A touch pen is not included. I got this about 8 years ago, but I've kept it in good condition since I stopped using it, so there are hardly any scratches, and the machine itself is perfectly fine!! I think it's perfect as a gift for children!! Price negotiations are welcome. Thank you for looking.
