The Etch A Sketch (or simply known as Etch) is a magic screen art pad made by the Ohio Art company. It is one of Andy's toys in Toy Story and Toy Story 2, where it plays a supporting role in both films. Etch is a red 1970's Etch–a–Sketch pad. It is one of Andy's many toys. Etch is able to draw quickly and, not surprisingly, very well. Such sketches include guns, portraits of Buzz, Woody and Al, Hangman nooses, and even semi-complicated maps. This is its only way of communication as it is unable to talk. Etch's way of moving around is by waddling, like Mr. Spell and See 'n Say do. Etch usually lives in Andy's toy box, but on rare occasions it can also be seen living on top of Andy's bookshelf.
