Fun...right?

I bought this for Miss Peach today. Fun right? Ummmm...NO!
All day today...
"Mommy, draw me a castle with a Princess, and a gown, and a tiara, with jewelry."
This thing is like 4 inches squared!
"Mommy, draw it, draw it, draw it..."
Yeah, I'll get right on that:P

    I have never seen a princess etch a sketch. God, my girls would love that.

    So is there anything left in this world without princess decals?

    You draw all those fabulous headers, surely you can draw a princess and a castle in a 4x4 inch etch-a-sketch!!

    Just draw the castle and tell her the princess is SLEEPING in her room right now.

    LOL! I guess it doesn't matter what size the drawing area is, they'll still ask you to draw. I thought I would upgrade from a small 4x4 to just HUGE pieces of paper and I'm still drawing trains all day long.

    You obviously don't remember when you had one of those as a kid. A waste of money for youngsters.
    Try stick on clothes on a cardboard dolly, they can detail with that without your assistance.

    I found Etch-A-Sketch maddening as a child. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be trying to draw something for my very finicky four year old!

    Probably 12 years ago or so one of the kids got an Etch A Sketch for Christmas at Grandma's house. I proceeded to write my name on it in beautiful cursive, one of my few talents, and then my sister tried to do hers. And couldn't. And then there was this big Etch A Sketch write off that involved a lot of cursing and competitiveness (we have that kind of relationship) and then my mom took it away from us. We were in our late 20's/30's at the time mind you. The Etch A Sketch can make you lose your shit.

    And they refuse to give up! My son wanted me to find a long lost truck today and probably asked me about 700 times with increasing volume.
