I'm sooo excited! Remember this? I've been looking for this thing (for my daughter) for about a year now. I just remember playing with it for hours when I was a kid (okay maybe I really want to play with it again). You pick a skirt or pants and pick a top and rub a crayon over the paper sideways so the image is drawn on the page.
I didn't remember the name of it, but as it turns out, there is no actual name for it (they call it "Fashion Designer").
Once I stumbled on this site, I decided, that from now on, I'm only going to Back To Basics Toys when I want nostalgic toys. They really do have it all. It's the perfect site to shop for birthday gifts, especially for kids who have it "all" already. (No they didn't pay me to say that.) After all, sleigh bells are ringing in the distance.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share, in case any of you moms couldn't think of the name of this thing either. LOL.
My friend had one of those and we used to spend hours doing that. We loved drawing and creating. That is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI loved those when I was young! Mine didn't have those cool side parts though! My daughter has had several different versions:)
ReplyDeleteI had something very similar when I was a child (late 70's - early 80's). It definitely had a name: Fashion Plates
ReplyDeleteYou might want to google that, if you're still looking for it. ;)
Oh those things were so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure mine was the first version ever made.
We used charcoal and tree bark but it was still fun!
I remember that. My daughter had it when she was little. She loved it, actually we both would play with it!
ReplyDeleteI had something like this when I was a kid
ReplyDeleteI played with mine ALL THE TIME when I was little. I think it was brown and pink. So cool that there is a site with all the old toys!!
ReplyDeleteI remember those too, but I had a card making one, that you could change the picture and the different sayings to wish people happy birthday or thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have that in my closet! My Wee One loves to play with it. Checking out that link - thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteI remember those! Aw, the memories of being a kid again...
