Nostalgia

This toy brings back so much nostalgia! I remember having an etch-a-sketch as a kid and me and my siblings would spend hours playing with it, we would write our names and draw silly pictures with it, we even had competitions with our cousins! Although they were a lot more square and has a bigger screen,,
I gave the etch a sketch to the kids and they seem to like it, they all fought to play with it at first but they got bored of it pretty fast, this generation is all about fast paced video games. My youngest is enjoying it, he is the most artistic of them all but to be completely honest the adults are having a blast with it! My siblings and I are so much more into it! I would definitely recommend this as a gift for an artistic child or to nostalgic adults! Fun, quiet, and easy to use! My little has enjoyed writing his name with it and ive taught some neat tricks, i love that i can share something from my childhood with them.

I received this product for free In exchange for an honest review.

Fun toy, but not the original

Etch a Sketch Revolution is a fresh, fun take on an old favorite! It's smaller, perfect for the littlest hands. Not only does it have the original features of straight lines, but with the circle mechanism in the middle, you can now make circles or rotations, as well. My kids loved it!
While this toy is fun, it does have some downsides, for example it is slightly difficult to clear the magnetized screen just by shaking it, which made it difficult for my kids to clear it. Also, I noticed that even when the screen was cleared, you could see the faint lines of the designs still visible. At first, I thought these were scratches, but the more my kids played with it, the more designs stayed on the screen.
Despite this, my kids enjoyed this toy and had a great time making all kinds of designs.

Etch a sketch

I have the etch a sketch revolution. Works great for the 3 yr old on trips in the car. Turn those dials and watch what happens. The 4 yr old was not quite as entertained.

There are lines in it. When shaken vigorously, there were some lines that did not disappear. Interesting to a bit newer of a design.

Kids like it

The kids liked it, but the screen area has lines and circles that will not go away no matter how hard you shake it. They do like that you can turn the 2 dials and also the frame around the circle to make circles inside. The lines that you draw shake off nicely. It is light weight and will be good for in the car traveling.

Not Your Old School Etch A Sketch

I loved my original Etch A Sketch, but this one is obviously not the same as you remember. My girls love drawing all the time so got this for them last Christmas. They love it and still play with it every so often. The screen is showing major signs of wear being beat around and drawn on for a year. I wish it held up a little bit better, and also wish that the stencils were attached somehow because those are long gone. And the last thing I would change would be that it is VERY hard to clear the screen. None of my kids (under 5 years old) can clear it without help and even my wife has issues with it at times. But with all that said by daughters do love to play with this often!
