As a child, I was an artist... and not just any artist, but a truly great artist, one capable of summoning my talents at will and creating masterpieces of biblical proportions.

And then I'd bump into a wall, and lose my Etch A Sketch art before anyone could ever see it. Oh well.

Actually, I was always terrible with these things, but they were a lot of fun. I'm glad to see that they're still selling them; most five year-olds these days are already Photoshopping pictures and posting them on their Myspace pages.

Anyway, I love these things.

This toy never gets old. It is fun for kids and a great item to take int the car on trips. There are no stray parts to get lost and my kids just love it.
