This can’t possibly be true!? And yet, I’ve asked a random sample (three) of my peers. Canadians didn’t have Colorforms?
The beauty of the Colorform box was that you could create the world exactly according to you. Those paper-thin, vinyl pieces could be moved around the ‘scene’ and even from box to box. Talk about creating community and encouraging diversity – Smurfs, please meet Snoopy.
There’s probably direct correlation to Colorforms and my control freak nature. Yes, you will stay in the corner until I move you, Gumby. And probably lead to a lot of my day-dreaming habits. What would it be like to be a Popple?
Lite Brite, Play-Doh, and Colorforms were what made my childhood the creative playground it was. I simple can’t believe that they didn’t import the (likely toxic & choke-able) little vinyl pieces in to Canada. Anyone to dispel this myth?
Canada didn't have Colorforms? I don't believe that.
