Did you know that Colorforms launched in 1951? It's true. (Also, this just in: We are old. Film at 11.) I remember various character sets being hot back in the 70s when I was into them, but this right here is a replica of the very first set. It requires a little thing called imagination, you see, as rather than licensed characters and decorative backgrounds you get geometric shapes and a blank page. 56 years later and this is still an awesome toy for hours of fun (and nice and quiet, too). $32.99 at Amazon.
