The classic red-and-white Etch A Sketch model The Etch A Sketch is a toy that is relatively flat and rectangular, looking somewhat like a small television. It uses two knobs to draw lineography. One knob moves the stylus horizontally, and the other vertically. Introduced near the peak of the baby boom, the classically simple Etch A Sketch is one of the best-known toys of that generation, and remains popular to this day.

Mechanics
 Etch A Sketch with insides shown, made possible by drawing on the entire screen The toy can be considered a simplified version of a plotter. The inside surface of the glass screen is coated with aluminum powder which is then scraped off by a movable stylus, leaving a dark line on the light-gray screen. The stylus is controlled by the two large nobs, one of which moves it vertically and the other horizontally. To erase the picture, one simply turns the toy upside down and shakes it, causing styrene beads to smooth out and recoat the inside surface. The "black" line merely exposes the darkness inside the toy. Filling in large "black" areas will allow enough light through to expose parts of the interior (see picture).

History The Etch A Sketch toy was discovered at a European Toy Fair in 1959 by Ohio Art president H.W. Winzeler. It was created by Arthur Granjean. Granjean originally called it "L'Ecran Magique" ("magic writer"). Requiring two presentations of his product, Granjean was able to convince Winzeler to pay the steep lincensing fee. In 1960, Ohio Art launched the toy for the holiday season with the name of "Etch A Sketch". With the similarity of a television itself, Ohio Art supported the toy with its first telivised advertising campaign.[1] It was also in the film Toy Story and the sequel Toy Story 2 A teddy bear A toy is an object used in play. ...

Etch A Sketch Animator
 The Etch A Sketch Animator The Etch A Sketch Animator, which debuted in 1986,[2] featured a low-resolution raster display and used two knobs for drawing, like a regular Etch A Sketch, with several buttons to manipulate said drawings. It had a few kilobytes of memory, capable of storing 12 frames of pictures in any combination up to 96 times. It contained a speaker, which made static-like sounds when the knobs were moved and during animations. As with any sort of Etch A Sketch toy, the animations created would not be very smooth, unless used by an expert.

Etch A Sketch Animator 2000 The Etch A Sketch Animator 2000 was a portable toy developed by Ohio Art in 1987, debuting in 1988. It is an upgraded version of the Etch A Sketch Animator. It used a stylus to draw on an interfacing pad, and the drawing appeared above on a low-resolution LCD screen. It had the ability to animate a sequence of frames as well as the ability to save animations on memory cartridges. The Animator 2000 could also play games loaded on cartridges. Three games were developed for it: Overdrive, a racing game in the vein of Pole Position; Putt Nuts, an 18-hole miniature golf game; and Flyby, a simplistic flight simulator. The Animator 2000 was discontinued shortly after its introduction, rendering copies of some of these games scarce. LCD redirects here. ...

Etch A Sketch Art There are a few practicing artists[4] who use the Etch A Sketch to produce professional lineographic work. Most artists make their work permanent by removing the aluminum powder. This is done either by drilling holes in the bottom of the toy or by removing the entire plastic backing. It is then resealed as a semi-permanent, shake-resistant piece of art.
