Do you remember Etch a Sketch? If you spent many happy hours drawing pictures on the screen then magically removing them using the plastic slider, you’ll relish the opportunity to relive your childhood on Etch a Sketch Day. The Etch a Sketch toys are still readily available, so it’s a chance to invest in one and get sketching. If you prefer, taking time to do any sort of drawing or painting will be a good way of marking Etch a Sketch Day. This day is all about creativity, so undertaking anything which involves a pencil, pen or brush is appropriate. Why not have an Etch a Sketch competition with friends or colleagues, or give everyone a thirty-second limit to produce a work of art? With so many choices for having fun whilst also creating something original and wonderful, it’s no wonder that Etch a Sketch Day is so widely celebrated.
Etch a sketch was fab. Trying to make anything slightly curved a complete challenge! I’m going to look at my dads in case there is one left over from our childhood. Maybe my sister still has it.
I thought it said itchy Sketchers day. I’m going to post my reply anyway I have five pairs and they’re not itchy at all.
Do I remember it??! YEAH!!! Big Bro accidentally put his knee through mine, after many years of happy "twiddling" .... End of an era @Merlin Cat circles were my speciality First discovery of the zen of ambidextrous .... ness. Probably part of the standard training to be a helicopter pilot! I'd show you some examples but .................
Bit too hi-tech for me. I still use those plastic sheet things where you write with a stylus, then peel the sheet up to erase it...
I loved my Etch a Sketch. I used to ''communicate" with the horses across the road with it. They'd have to nod or shake an answer. I was the Doctor Doolittle of the Etch a Sketch world.
"OMG!" .... and that!! Something about translating number combinations to shapes ... Hypnotic. Remember the Owl?
Did anyone else have a 'Dial a Design'? I loved mine - loads of hours spent making pictures with the click on shapes, and then even more hours colouring them in. I think it was a 'mindfulness' activity before the term was even invented.
It's called Computer Aided Design these days. Much the same, but you have to wear trendy horn-rim glasses while you're doing it.
Letraset, I've probably still got some in the useful things cupboard in the shed. I'm with you, Spirograph every time. Sent from my ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 9002A using Tapatalk
