  • Drawing stencil toy

    Hello all,

    In the mid/late 70s I had a set of circular stencils that I've never seen since. Each one was about 6 inches across with pinhole in the middle and numbers around the outside. You made a pencil mark at the top and turned it round to number one and filled in space number one, then on to number 2 and so on. When you'd got to the last number and filled in the final space, you took the stencil away and there was a picture of a football player or something.

    Does that ring any bells with anyone?

    Thanks
    Carl

        My family had some Rotadraw discs as well about six or seven of then. Ours had Mickey Mouse with big ones for his ears, and The Magic Roundabout characters on it. A great start to doing proper art!

            Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

              I have just looked at Heather's pictures above and was quite surprised to see the pens included as well. These days, they would probably say "provide your own" and give the old "batteries not included" aspect towards them.
