Good Morning !
As a kid I had a few Etch a Sketch tablets, I never did master the art if making cool pictures with it , it was just something to scribble on, shake to clear and repeat all over again, hours of fun .
Today we celebrate “Etch a Sketch Day”, celebrating the toy, released on this day in 1960, that has entertained and fascinated generations of kids.
It allows you to draw straight lines on a screen controlled by 2 knobs, a difficult skill to master, but eventually, impressive pictures can be made.
A check on the History of Etch a Sketch and I find The Etch A Sketch toy was invented in the late 1950s by André Cassagnes, an electrician with Lincrusta Co, who named the toy L’Écran Magique (The Magic Screen). In 1959, he took his drawing toy to the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany. The Ohio Art Company saw it but had no interest in the toy.(Wikipedia)
I have also included some video for you to check out and Enjoy !
