When Etch A Sketch was first released in the 1960’s the toy looked different.  The Etch A Sketch was a thick and flat gray screen in a plastic frame.  The screen had a red frame with two knobs on the lower corners.  The toy proved to be a huge hit, and became one of the best known toys of its generation.  The Etch A Sketch is considered a classic so it’s not surprising that manufacturers wanted to produce a new Etch A Sketch that would recapture attention.

The new Etch A Sketch which has been renamed the Etch A Sketch Freestyle still has the gray screen and red border, but now there is only one controller knob.  The knob has the ability to swivel 360 degrees.  The traditional solid red plastic frame also has a lot more intricacy to its design.  The item is also available in pink.

Although the toy looks different, its purpose is still the same.  The Etch A Sketch Freestyle is a mechanical drawing toy that relies on dexterity and creativity.   Because the knob allows consumers to swivel it in all directions, it is easier for a person to draw curves, loops, and other lines.  The Etch A Sketch has been around a long time and it may be difficult for many of the original users to accept the fact that the toy has changed.

Similar to the original, the Etch A Sketch Freestyle requires a bit of shaking to erase and start over with a new drawing.  Consumers can expect to pay $14.99 for the Etch A Sketch Freestyle.
