Some classics never lose their appeal! Nested in a colorful, open-faced box, this old friend has the same bright red plastic frame, the same horizontal and vertical knobs, and the same inviting gray drawing screen as the original model. And as always, this Classic Etch A Sketch will provide hours of pencil-free drawing as its owner masters the right-left and up-down movements required. The magic screen upon which your drawings appear is glass, covered with protective clear plastic film. Inside, aluminum powder and plastic beads respond to each turn of the knobs. Owners are encouraged to join the Etch A Sketch club and receive a membership card, an official club patch, and a newsletter three times a year. --Liane Thomas

Unfortunately, they've changed enough of this classic toy that it is not what it used to be. Lines are not dark enough to see very well, and those that do show up do not erase.
C'mon Ohio Art, how dumb do you think we all are? Put out a quality product, on par with the old days, and your sales will be even better. Better yet, you won't be producing plastic junk that goes straight to the landfill.
UPDATE: I contacted the company and, amazingly, they stood behind the product and shipped me two new ones - to the other side of the planet. The new ones work much better. They also took the numbers off the back of the units and got their engineers involved to figure out what had gone wrong with the manufacture of my two... pretty impressive. Three cheers Ohio Art!

I was so happy to find that the Etch a Sketch is still available. I thought it was a toy of the past. I bought one for my coffee table at home and everyone that comes over plays with it and reminisces. It's a great toy for all ages - especially for creatives.

I bought the Etch a Sketch for my 11 year old. It seems I should have bought 3 more because my other children love it. They seem to be getting better at making rounded lines with the practice they are getting. They love it!

returned it
the sketching resulted in such a dim/hazy drawing that it didn't hold my toddler's attention at all, since she couldn't see anything. Read more

Classic Etch A Sketch
Very good product and works like the old days. Unfortunately like all novelties, the interest wears out quickly considering the competition with computers.

Classic Etch A Sketch Magic Screen
This is the classic etch a sketch. My grandson loves it. He is a little young for it, but will grow into it. All he can do is make squiggly lines as turns knobs just one way.

same great classic toy!
Same great classic toy, the only thing that is different from when I was younger is the size of the screen, it is much smaller now. But other than that it is great.
