  True that, dad.
  
  And being paper *with kids involved*, it would probably get spilled on with juice, and ripped through, before they get halfway through the roll.
  
  It would be horrible for design students too, on hindsight.

  I think that children would rather unroll 500 meters of paper all over the house, than make drawings on it.

  I've seen this one floating around lots of blogs. Cute concept, terrible design.
  
  Look at the picture. How is that girl going to draw sitting that close to the paper with the paper at her belly-button level. You know why she's looking off into space? It's too hard to look at the drawing area.
  
  And, when the roll isn't big enough to sit on? The kid's going to have to stand up and lean over a big honking cardboard roll. Yeah, that'll be comfortable.
  
  Beyond the ergonomics, the underlying conceit is one that only the childless could embrace. When a kid is finished drawing a picture on an easel, she doesn't want it subsumed into a big roll, she wants to rip the drawing off the roll and hang it up somewhere. Ideally, the supportive parent wants to encourage same.
  
  Probably good for design students? A very pessimistic view of the value of a design education. Presumably, there's an audience for a student's drawings. Carrying around a roll of paper is not the best way to manage a portfolio.
  
  I could go on.
  
  Design for kids should be taken seriously. This isn't a good design on any level.
