I had an etch-a-sketch but didn’t have much patience for it. I preferred to be outside with my animals. I was a range free kid in the summer. Out the door after breakfast and not required to come back til supper. The whole countryside was my canvas. I often took a small can of pop-the-top Mondrian oranges with me. To eat during the day. Had an old film container with sugar in it and cut wild rue barb to eat. Once my friends and I peddled to the next town over bought a bag of marshmallows and crackers and had s’mores at the park there. Kids don’t get to do that any more.
