Takes me way back!
5 STARS!! I purchased Spirograph for the nostalgia. I surprised my sister with it at dinner one night. After the table was cleared we played with it for hours while reminiscing of our childhood. For adults I recommend Spirograph & wine - an excellent combo!

Not like it used to be.
Very hard for a child to manage. The "putty" to hold the wheel doesn't stick very well. There is no tray anymore so if you don't have a flat surface to draw on, it gets sloppy.

Loved but grandkids
A seven and a four year old found it entrancing. Helped grandma out during Grandparent Camp!

The Original Spirograph Set
My grandson is nine years old and loves it. He has already played with it several times. I would recommend this item to others for their children.

Five stars. We gave it to our great great niece and she had just gotten rid of her old one. Worked out great.

On the shelf too long?
The markers in the box were dried up! I guess it’s been on the shelf for a long time. It’s a classic toy I played with as a child (and I’m old). Still great fun and good quality.

Classic game
This is a very enjoyable set that has been around for years. It allows one to draw and make a variety, nearly infinite, sort of designs. It is so much fun to play.

Spirograph review
It needs something much better than the tiny pieces of tacky stuff to hold it in place. I had a spirograph as a kid and I don't remember what held it in place but it wasn't what they have now.

Spirograph
Hard to manage the parts in the circle. It may say "original" but it isn't. Nevertheless, it is challenging to try. Brings back memories.
