Fashion Plates - Toy from the 80's
There was a toy that I purchased my girls while they were
growing up in the 80’s that fascinated me.
I never played with (that is my story and I am sticking to it), but sure
was tempted. I really wish it had been
around when I was growing up. Yes, I would
have likely played with it.
The object was to choose plates, that represented, a head,
clothing tops, and bottoms as in skirts or pants. All of the inter-changeable plates had “a
flair” to them and the combination allowed for many different styles. After arranging the plates you inserted a
sheet of white paper, ran a black crayon on its side over the plates and your
design is transferred. You then have a "fashion combination template"
to color and study. It is still around in a new version.
The girls played a lot with this. Little did they know that I was watching with
envy the whole time.
