Fashion Plates
In the 70’s, toy company Tomy came out with their Fashion Plates set, aimed at little girls. Thin plastic plates had indented drawings of different skirts, pants and tops, which designers-in-training could then mix and match to create an endless array of ensembles. Just arrange the plates in the cradle base, slap some paper on top, and run a black crayon over the figure. Then, with the colored pencils that were also included, flip the plates over to select the raised-up textures of your choice, and set to work coloring your creation in.
