Default Trying to remember a toy from the 80's
It was a blue plastic unit that you could hold in your hand. It had a flat surface on which you traced. On the side was a slot and you put various CD case sized clear sheets that had black outlines on them of various pictures. You had a roll of paper attached at the top that you pulled down, traced the picture and then you could tear off using the plastic teeth at the bottom of the unit, a bit like clingfilm.

Anyone remember it ??

And no, I have not be taking recreational drugs !!

I can only remember the one where you could draw straight onto the plastic sheet with a plastic imitation pencil and afterwards lift the plastic sheet to erase the picture and start again.
