1. The Etch-A-Sketch
Where: Toys R Us, KB Toys; Company: Ohio Art Company
* Original Cost: $2.29
The Etch-A-Sketch was the perfect toy for teaching kids how to sketch and that it was alright to make errors and try again! Every American has an indelible memory of the Etch-A-Sketch, with its powdery screen, bright red frame, and knobs.

Children could draw anything they wished on the powdery surface by using the two knobs to move an aluminum stylus across it. When they were done, they could simply flip the device over to erase their work. The Etch-A-Sketch is still in use today and is unlikely to go out of style very soon.
