It was invented in 1957 by André Cassagnes, a French electrician. He took the idea to a plastics company; they developed a prototype and patented it in 1959 and did not give him credit on the patent. Ohio Art Company bought a license to make the toy in the US and announced the Etch-A-Sketch in July, 1960.
It was invented on July 12,1960.
