I loved my spirograph growing up but always got frustrated when I couldn’t do the tricky loops!

These are so much fun – you can feel creative even if you can’t draw a straight line!

I also absolutely loved my spirograph when I was a kid. I had totally forgot about them. This has given me some gift ideas for my kids!

WE used to receive a lot of creative presents when the kids were small, including art and craft sets, painting , drawings, bead making etc.. I think this is great for the family , especially children as it allows creativity to be developed in learning and helps them create colours , patterns using their own skills . My daughter excelled in art and never forgotten the perfect round orange she drew in year 7 . Unfortunatley she lost interest and art wasn’t her main subject of choice . Oh well.

My husband idly asked me if spirographs still existed, and the next day I saw about a dozen variations on sale.

    Everything is getting used again – love the return of retro items!

They are really amazing!! I love them too!

They are such an awesome activity – use the spirographs for cards and doodle bases too (add arms and legs and funny heads etc).
