anybody remember this old drawing pad thing?

Question

When i was about 4, back in 1992, I had this drawing pad that you could connect to the TV and whatever you drew on the pad would come out on the TV. It looked something like an Etch-a-Sketch, a big one, it had the red border and inside was a place to draw, it was white and had red dots, like that dots game, on the left hand side it had all the painting tools and on the bottom it had all the colors you could paint with, much like Microsoft Paint, and it had this little pen you would draw with. You would take the pen, press the tool you wanted, then press the color, then draw, and it would all show up really big on the TV. I really loved this thing, and I would love to find it again, but I have no idea what it is called or where my parents got it from, if you have any idea please tell me.

thanks

I think you are making reference to the Playschool Painter. Tiger Electronics did it for Playschool. The toy was for ages 5 and up. I have no idea if they are still in business. Their phone number is on this web site: http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/PAINTER3.PDF

This site come with complete instructions on hooking it up to the TV. Hope this is what you are looking for.

My dad rode his mountain motorbike up the hill from the hovis ad. He had an particularly colourful ski jacket on and edited it so the hovis music became playing as we watched the video. It became so humorous as he struggled to pedal up that hill. i must attempt to dig it out and placed it on youtube. thanks for reminding me.
