Magna Doodle was a bit like Etch-a-Sketch but a lot easier! Mine was made of blue plastic, with a dial at the bottom that you pulled across to wipe out the picture. It was basically a magnetic drawing toy. When you pressed down on the screen with a pen or the magnetic shapes that came with Magna Doodle it would attract tiny bits of filings to the screen making a picture.First brought out in 1974, Magna Doodle was originally produced by Tyco right up until 1998 when the rights were sold to Fisher Price. This was far better than drawing on paper as you could just wipe the slate clean. Unfortunately, if you made a mistake you had to clear the whole lot!
