ABSTRACT:
A graphic arts toy including a string retaining sketch pad, an elongated string, and means for storing, dispensing and retracting the string. The string retaining sketch pad comprises a flexible, plate-like element having a plurality of upwardly extending, flexible fingers on its top. The fingers are arrayed in equally spaced, parallel, transverse rows. The means for storing, dispensing and retracting the string comprises a string storage, dispensing and retracting pencil having a housing, a string storage dispensing and retracting reel rotatably mounted in the housing, and a string dispensing and retracting tube with one of its ends in the housing and the other of its ends exterior to the housing. When the tube is moved between a pair of fingers, the fingers are flexed apart and the string dispensed there between. The fingers return to their normal position to grip and hold the string after the tube moves to the next pair of fingers.
