Colorforms, invented by Harry Kislevitz, were paper-thin, die-cut vinyl sheet images and shapes that could be applied to a slick cardboard background board. The images stuck to the background via static cling and could be repositioned to create new scenes. The original box sets began appearing in the 1950s and featured bright shapes and "modern" basic designs, expanding into cartoon character sets.
The Colorforms I had as a child were Raggedy Ann and Holly Hobbie!
