Old School Art Supplies We Miss

For many of us, the '90s can be summed up in Power Rangers, Goosebumps, Tamagotchis, and Ring Pops—products that make us long to be a kid again. Along with these throwbacks from pop culture were awesome art supplies. Every aspiring Picasso had pencil boxes stuffed with Mr. Sketch Markers, Neon-Colored Pencil Grips, and Scented Erasables. Lite-Brite and Blo Pens took creation to the next level. Take a nostalgia trip back in time with Old School Art Supplies We Miss.

If we had a BeDazzler right now, we'd BeDazzle the shit out of our sneakers and clothing. DIY everything!

Every Picasso needs a fresh box for his tools.

Spirograph drawing equipment made some of the trippiest designs.

What else were we supposed to do with our left over bottles?

A pen that you can erase?! It was mind-blowing.

These erasers looked and smelled good enough to eat.

These fruity flavors always smelled incredible, except for the licorice one.

So Elmer's glue may not have been that groundbreaking, but peeling the skin of dried glue off your fingers after it dried was weirdly fun.

There's a weird satisfaction you get from etching a drawing out of Scratch Art. Maybe it was the cool rainbow colors, or maybe we were just angry kids back in the day.

Holding that pencil all day long was tough work.

These Magic Scent Crayons smelled so good that the chocolate and cherry colors had to be discontinued because kids were eating the Crayons.

We didn't really use these to make anything. Pom poms were always more fun to just play with.

Because at one point we wanted to draw everything in the colors of the rainbow. And the commercial made it look like we could create incredible masterpieces.

Black and blue ink got boring after a while. Green ink was weird, and red ink made us feel like teachers.

Did anyone actually use these to clean pipes?

We did an entire feature on The Best Crayola Colors of All Time. Enough said.

The best part of the day? Giving each other Gel Pen tattoos at recess.

We don't care what you say. The Etch A Sketch drawing tool was by far the most frustrating toy we had as children. They were fun for about five minutes until we realized not everyone was meant to be George Vlosich, who spent about 70 to 80 hours on the image of Jay Z above.

Stained glass kits made us feel like real artists, except they contained paint-by-number instructions.

image via

Perler Beads were the shit because they brought our favorite 8-bit video game friends to life. And they made really cool keychains.

image via

We're still bitter our parents never bought us Blo Pens even when we begged. The commercials made them look so cool!

Magna Doodle took Etch A Sketch to the next level. Hangman all day, every day!

Remember these plastic sheets, which would shrink into a smaller, hard plates after being baked in the oven? Making art with Shrinky Dinks was like watching magic unfold right before our very eyes.

Lite Brite was fun until you had to pick up all those damn pieces.

We loved anything Lisa Frank. It was like an acid trip for kids.
