Nostalgia Toy #6: Spirograph
I used to love playing with the Spirograph! We didn’t have one, but I gravitated to them anywhere we visited that did. I don’t think that my joy over this toy is at all unrelated to my love of pens. Yes, pens. If you ever want to treat me, buy me a pen. ;)
Anyway, what we really don’t need in this house is another toy with multiple parts to get lost and broken, but I still want one. This would, of course, mean more pieces of paper lying around the house. Maybe Aquadoodle and Spirograph should breed a new line of toy, the Spirodoodle, or the Aquagraph. Did I mention I’ve been up late all week with a sick baby and I think I seem to be losing my mind? ;)

Oh I loved my spirograph. Perfect creative toy, right up there with playdough.

Michelle: We just restocked the Play Doh today! Crunchy mixed-to-a-nice-brown was no longer feeling fun. :)
