Did you see the art work? A guy I knew in college actually made stuff like that. The company would send him an Etch-A-Sketch, he would do a fantastic picture, then do something to it so it wouldn't erase and send it back to the company. And I can't even make a house look good!
All I ever did was go around and around the square. Yes you can still get them, we have a few small ones they are good for traveling.
You can even buy tiny keychain ones... As a kid I always just made the whole thing covered with lines so I could see how it worked inside.
Yep. They still make Lite-Brites and they have travel size for that, too. Jackie, my dad could do the Etch-A-Sketch so well that we weren't allowed to play on HIS :lol:. We had our own to share between the kids.
They make a light brigt cube, you can make a couple of pictures at a time, its smaller than the origional, and there are trays for peg storage.
My daughters have an E-Z Bake Oven. But when I was a kid, they actually got hot. Now they're only heated by a lightbulb. Same with the Creepy Crawlers. My brother and I use to have a blast with them! Then my step-sons had a set. It didn't work very well because it didn't have a heating unit that actually got hot.
I have a baby crissy, my grandmother held her hostage for a long time because I cut her hair!--- she was a doll maker and believed in taking very good care of dolls! I still have her up in my closet!
I LOVED my Baby Chrissy. She was soft and plump! When Jeanne was 2 I bought one at an antique store for 50.00, figuring Jeanne would like her, too. Well, Jeannie doesn't like dolls at all, so I gave her away to a charity. I hugged her, first..... Aball, I'm jealous that you have an original one. That was such a sweet doll.
I wish I had more of my Grandmothers dolls, my mom just gave Eva a pig! Its a stuffed doll that my Grandmother made herself, but Eva got it because she likes Pigs.... wierd child! I do have a Shirly Temple Doll, I got it from my Grandmother "Grammy" on my first birthday, I think she still has her hair net!---But like all the dolls my Grammy got me or made for me I wasn't reallly allowed to play with them, they were hung on the wall. Thats why we let our kids play with the things we know will be "collectors" items because its not fun having a toy you can't play with! I get disapointed when I think the kids will just love something and they don't-- my example is the big parades on TV, the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and the rose parade!! The girls do play with some strawberry shortcake toys, I used to love her. And of course the boys love everything that Daddy did, base ball, football, little plastic toy soldiers, G. I. Joes and boy stuff!
