LakeshoreSpiral Art Design Center

This is a perfect Spirograph. No pins, no putty and no slipping. Wheels etc store inside so self contained. I bought this for my 7 year old grandson. Both he and his 4 year old sister use it all the time. It’s so easy to use and FUN!!!!

We initially got a spiralgraph that required sticky tack (the rubbery gum stuff), and it was frustrating for my son because it would move and ruin the design. This center is thoughtfully made out that even 5 year olds can operate it and make beautiful designs. Plus, it has all the items in a handy carrying case. We have taken it on two vacations for entertainment.To refill the paper, I simply take blank paper and cut it into the size to fit in the plastic bag. This takes maybe 5-10 minutes and we're good to go again.

We like this as it has more options for our 6yo to make more designs. We like how portable it is. Makes visits to sit down restaurants with lots of visiting family much easier and less chaotic. Where it loses a star is in the paper size. Such an odd size and unless it fits perfectly inside the frame it won't close right. Currently we have a zipper pouch with lots of partially used pages from work that we fold and tear.

Just like the old kit my dad used to have, 4 year old loves it!

My four year old had gotten an adult version of the Spirograph from his paternal grandparents. It was very hard and came in pieces so I threw it away. Then they asked for a picture from him of what he made with it. OH. MY. GOD. So I went on Amazon and ordered this. It has been a HUGE hit. Its easy to do, the pieces are manageable and with the frame he can do it all by himself (always good at this age) and even better the box safely stores all the pieces!! I was happy, my son was happy and his grandparents were happy with the pictures!! Win- Win- Win!!!10/10 would order again, even without owing the grandparents a picture!
