Spirograph, I remember your beautiful plastic faces.

March 16, 2011

Do any of you remember spirographs? When I was little I had a massive set of these things and I would play with them all the same, they fascinated the crap out of me. I was talking about them the other day in passing to a friend of mine, who responded to my childhood tales of spirographs like this – “oh I have a small set of those that I bought when I was in London, do you want them?” YES. That’s what I said, yes.

I had to force myself to pack them away yesterday so I could do some real work. They are so awesome.

    i had those, and i loved them!
    my set had little pins to pin the plastic shape to the page, so it could be all perfect like.
    i might need a turn playing with yours 🙂

    So purdy!

    You can still find these at places like the ‘Crazy Store’ or ‘Excitement Store’ – you can start a new collection! 🙂

    Oh my this post took me back to my fantabulous childhood where I was absolutely obsesses with spirographs. I also had quite an impressive collection. Thanks for bringing back the memories 🙂

    I had these and loved them and have been looking to get them for my girls. About to go to London. Any ideas where to get them?
