Title: Not the spirograph of yesteryear!
Product review: What a disappointment this version of spirograph is. It is not the wonderful, colorful creative toy of yesteryear which used pins to hold the forms and paper in place and had almost too many wheels!It has just a few wheels that snap into one single geared form for storage (a very nice feature.) That form has nice edges that kind of hold the gears in place as young hands move the wheels around the edge of the forms to make the fun shapes. The kit includes one pen (I remember a pen with 4 colors in the old toy and pins that stuck the paper to cardboard to hold the forms in place. This toy requires the young artist to hold the form with their hands which is a very difficult task to do.)My 6 year old could barely manage the play, and was bored very quickly. My 4 year old couldn't handle it all, so you might want to consider the toy for an older child and buy an extra set of colored pens and a pack of extra paper.
