LOL.

Elf EtchasketchThey were pretty cool. Actually invented in the 50s, did you know that? But they didn’t debut until the mid 80s.

    I had an Etch-A-Sketch, but I didn’t know until I was married that there were “games” you could buy for them.

    After my husband’s mom went through her closets, she sent home a bunch of his toys from his youth. We found these transparency-type cards with mazes and race tracks and such on them. Apparently, you were supposed to lay the transparency over the EAS screen and try to make it through the maze or stay within the boundaries of the race track.

    I loved the Etch a Sketch, but if I’d have had those, it would have been so much cooler.
