magic drawing board??!!??

[glazzy]

does any1 remember having a drawing board that u could use again and again???
it was a piece of cardboard with a sheet of plastic over it...it had a pen made out of a long bit of plastic that was pointed at one end and wen u drew something u could lift the plastic up and the picture would dissapear!!

i remember getting 1 on the plane wen i went on me hols(wen i was a kid)

any1 know wot i'm waffling about????

also would any1 know were i could get 1 (if they still make em)????????????

etch a sketch,just had to revive the oldest post

 

[Judderz]

Was it not called MagnaDoodle?

Etch-a-sketch had the twiddly knobs and was made of red plastic.

 

[adamw]

Yeah, Etch-a-sketch was like a red telly and you drew by turning the buttons at the side. Great for straight lines, absolute bugger if you wanted wavey lines or curves!!!

I do remember the other one though but the name I can't... is Magnadoodle correct?

 

[Jiglo]

It was Magna Doodle wasn't it:S

Blue frame with a plastic stylus/pen for drawing and a slider at the bottom?

Used to have one many years ago

 

[adamw]

I stand corrected. Well in jigsy.

Too old me. Crayons and a bit of paper.

Thought you were going to say Slate and Chalk!

Word of advice. Never open an etch-a-sketch to see what is inside. There is a house full of carbon particles compressed into that little box..... Makes your house look fire damaged

other way round for me, etch-a-sketch first, then magna doodle...which IMO were infinitely superior...at least you can do corners and dont have to shake your tiny brains around getting rid of the picture after lol
they've got a magnadoodle stuck on the back of joey and chandlers front door in friends havent they?

the first post of this thread is something different again isnt it? I remember then, like some sort of magnetised pen thingy, and when youre done you peel the top layer back to get rid, and it made a crackly crunchy sound as you peeled it.
I liked them.
Anyway, this post is getting far too long for someone who's only just woke up, so i'm going now, Ciao

*picks up monitor and shakes it to correct a typo* lol
