there are two knobs at the bottom of an etch a sketch. the left one turns the 'etcher' left or right. The right knob moves the 'etcher' up or down. if you move both knobs at the same time, you make squiggles. Also, if you shake the Etch-a-Sketch, the picture is erased.
It was made in Bryan, Ohio, from 1960 to 2001. In 2001, the company moved Etch-A-Sketch manufacturing to Shenzhen, China.
inside an etch-a-sketch is a needle pulled by strings controlled by the knobs. the needle scrapes off the white coating of the screen as it passes and the coating is replaces when you shake the box
