Of COURSE I remember the etch-a-sketch. Of course, it was always lot cooler-looking when someone else was doing it. I never could make my creations look anything like a REAL drawing. :-)
I had etch a sketch after etch a sketch! When one broke, I got another one. I could keep myself busy for hours! I loved my etch a sketch!
My son had one and I think my daughter had one when she was younger, but we don't have one now. May have to get one for the kids for Christmas.
