Etch-A-Sketch: 54 years in America

Etch-A-Sketch was launched on the American market 54 years ago this month.

I had a love/hate relationship with Etch-A-Sketch when I was a child. I loved what other people could draw with it, and I hated that drawing a square with it was a major accomplishment for me! My brain didn’t work that way then, and it still doesn’t now. The difference is that now I can be in awe of what people can draw with it, but not envious that I can’t do it, too.

I’ve shared my experience with Etch-A-Sketch. Tell me about yours.
