It's time for Scribble Picnic! This week's theme is 'Toy'. My piece is done on coloured cardstock
(6" x 6") with my permanent markers. It is a classic Fisher-Price Corn Popper.
According to Wikipedia, 'It was invented in 1957 by Arthur Holt, who died in April 1996, and sold to Fisher-Price for $50. The Corn Popper is one of the most popular toys for young children in history.'
And welcome to November! We are that much closer to Christmas. But of course the Americans have their Thanksgiving just before that.

Oh my gosh, I remember that toy.
Great drawing, I think my daughter had something like that! Hugs, Valerie
How cute! This is a terrific piece of artwork!
he got the short end of the stick there
Oh yes, I guess we all recall Fisher-Price toys - they were all over the house when then kids were little. Very well made, lasted through throwing, crashing etc., never fell apart, and were colorful and a lot of fun.
This one you are sharing was definitely loved in our household - I can hear it now!
Love.
That's a cute drawing. Yeah, Thanksgiving on Nov 23 and Christmas on Dec 25.
Oh my gosh Christine...flashbacks...I'd completely forgotten about the corn popper!!! Lovely drawing and thanks for posting the history. Who'd-a-thunk it was the most popular toy! Fun! Well, Halloween is over, we got some snow and now I'm in Christmas mode!!! :)
Oh boy, do I remember when my kids had those. Pop, pop, pop all through the house.
Haha I loved that toy
What a cute drawing of such a fun toy. Interesting that he sold it for 50...
OH yes...good, old Fisher-Price toys...great choice for the prompt, Christine, and nicely rendered too. :)
Our grandson just recently was introduced to this toy at nursery school and he loves it as did his father many years ago. What a wonderful memory!
Wow what a flashback - my brother was born in 1958 and i remember my parents got him one of those. He loved it. You're getting a nice collection of card art - good job on this. and I love the photos above of the leaves - can't believe how pink some of them are.
Well you certainly did make a great choice. I loved the corn popper almost as much as my kids did. They are hard to come by these days as I have looked for them to give as baby gifts to friends. Love this one, Christine ...

Poor guy. I think he got ripped off! It's a fab toy- I had one myself at one point I think!...Or was it the kids did? Lol. Can;t recall now. Anyway, you illustrated and painted this excellently. Well done! Thank you so much. A brilliant addition.
such a noisy toy lol mine broke "mysteriously" :p
I always wanted one of these, but had to settle for playing with a friend's when we visited! Great job drawing the clear plastic bubble!
