Etch A Sketch Freestyle makes curved lines easy
Those of you that thought some toys were far too sacred and classic to be updated should probably look away, because you’re probably not going to like this one. Instead of your kids playing with the same old version of Etch A Sketch that’s been around for years, they can have a fresh new version. A version that basically takes any and all challenge out of drawing pictures on the screen.
It used to be you had to work the two knobs and you would get a sloppy simplistic picture. You had to work at it to get anything that looked remotely decent. Now kids can have the Freestyle version that instead of having two knobs, it has one. This one knob swivels around a full 360 degrees. That’ll allow kids to effortlessly draw curved lines. At least they still have to shake the thing to get rid of the picture. You can purchase one for $14.99.
The best electric leaf blower for most users is the DeWalt DCBL772X1 60 Volt. It’s strong, durable and a full charge lasts around 30 minutes after which you could replace the battery with a spare one and keep going.
The best digital picture frame is the Pix-Star PXT515WR04. It has wireless connectivity with a special app that’s compatible with IOS and Android platforms and it supports a USB stick as well as SDHC or SDXC memory cards.
Our favorite sunrise alarm clock is the Philips SmartSleep HF3670/60. It comes with a Sleep Mapper app for improved sleep hygiene and a special breathing light that can make falling asleep a lot easier.
When it comes to the best computer speakers we recommend taking a look at the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III. They are visually stunning with their ultra-modern shape and transparent housing and deliver a superior sound quality

Nooo! How can they destroy what was once a perfectly good toy? Being able to draw jagged lines was all part of the fun – these new curves just aren’t the same at all.
Can you still get the old ones??
I grew up in the 90’s and even I feel this is SOO wrong!!! The whole challenge of the etch a sketch was the idea that you cant make perfectly curved lines!!! They RUINED IT!
