Spirographs rock.

I found my sister's old Spirograph set at my parents' house last month. I took it to school, and the elementary students really got into it for a while. They seemed satisfied with both the process and product. I brought the Spirograph home last night and made some designs at the kitchen table. I think there's something calming about working in a circle.











I heard from a teacher that Spirographs have become hard to find. I noticed there are a couple of collectible sets as well as some newer products with the basic idea on Amazon.
