Etch

It is still raining here so I had sometime to just poke 'round. This is the results from Pokin 'round!
Remember this toy? Found this interesting thought I would pass it on. In the late 1950's, Arthur Granjean, a French inventor, created a drawing toy in his garage workshop he called L'Ecran Magique (The Magic Screen.) In 1959, he took his toy to the International Toy Fair in Nuremburg, Germany, where he sold it to the The Ohio Art Company. The Magic Screen was renamed the Etch-A-Sketch ® , and in 1960 Ohio Art started advertising it on television. It was an immediate hit, and remains a classic still enjoyed by kids today. Then there are people that take this to a new level.
