Deluxe kit.

I loved this as a child and just bought it this year for my 5-year-old daughters Christmas. It is way more complex than I remembered, but a lot of fun. She is getting the hang of it slowly (as am I) I hope this will be a toy that keeps entertaining for many years. It is a great set, some sheets of good quality paper and 3 excellent pens are also included. the pens red, green and blue are just the right shape for the wheels (standard ball points are too large) and leave a sharp clear line with no bleeding or skipping. There is a good range of shapes and wheels in his set (some more challenging to use than other) and a guide book with deceptively simple instructions to very complex designs. It is blue tack now to hold the wheels in place instead of pins - I find you need use only a small amount or the wheel will not sit flush with the paper. The case is great. I was concerned at first because many reviews on here mention that the storage holes are too small for the wheels and lead to warping, but it appears that the manufacturer has now resolved this. all the parts fit well and would fall out of place if it were not for the plastic covers. there is storage for the pens and paper too and the velcro closure is secure and easy to use.

Bought the ‘Original’ Spirograph set for a child. Had so much fun I bought myself this Deluxe set and I’m not disappointed. I’m using it not as a toy but as a serious piece of art equipment to create designs and greetings cards. It’s particular effective when you colour your patterns in. The Deluxe edition comes with quite a few more rings and wheels to create hundreds more pattern combinations. It also has the addition of 4 shaped wheels. These give a totally different variety of geometric shapes. It’s worth it for that alone. The box it comes in is a fairly sturdy carry case and the pens supplied are OK, but I’ll be using a whole range of coloured gel pens that I bought separately. They work particularly well. Only 2 things to be aware of. The putty they supply to hold the rings in place is not good. I prefer to use the old method of pinning it to the paper. The rings still have the holes for that. All the pieces work together beautifully, but when picking a pattern with tight bends, it does take some dexterity to keep the pen moving smoothly and not jerking across your drawing. Particularly with the shaped wheels. All in all, brilliant!! And though some younger children may struggle with some of the patterns, it doesn’t matter. It’s fun anyway.

This is a good Spirograph set with lots of bits of equipment which store nicely in the box which is a carry/tidy case. Very happy with it. It was purchased for my daughter who is 5.5 years old and is probably a bit young to use it. She likes it and the rings can be tacked down so you just concentrate on moving the wheel which is better than the sets I remember as a child where it all moved around. It would probably be better for a 7/8 year old as a bit more control is needed to do it independently. I had no problem using it and support my daughter in her use of it. Think it will get more use as she gets older and can better control the wheels herself.

Wonderful in so many ways! Enthralled me as a child and is now enthralling the 11tear old that I gave it to! My only comment is the same as others' - that blue tack stuff doesn't really hold things in place. Why did they get rid of the little pins?? Surely not Health and Safety?? I've bought some pins and a backing board.

Had this as a kid and it kept me occupied for hours, so decided to get it for my granddaughter, and yes, once again it kept the pair of us happily quiet for several hours on boxing day. comes in a plastic type wallet which opens up revealing everything you need to make all the spirals you could think of, it also doubles up as an area on which to draw on . I found the blutak type stuff you get to hold the rings down was a bit of a let down and didn't quite do the job of holding it steady, you have to hold the ring down with your other hand while drawing the spirals. My granddaughter (5) found this to be frustrating, and I held the ring in place while she drew the spirals, this is its only draw back. packaging and post time no problem.

Arrived on time and in good condition

I bought a Spirograph because I had one for Christmas many years ago and I have fond memories of playing with it. However, this new version is notably different. For a start there's no pins to pin down the outer ring wheels to a cardboard base only "Spiro putty" which isn't nearly as good. Secondly, all the wheels, and rings etc., seem to be made from a different type of plastic to what they were 30-40 years ago; Why? The pens are different too. In early Spirographs you had four ballpoint pens; black, blue, purple and red. Now you get three felt-tip type pens, again why? I wouldn't mind betting that if the original Spirographs from the 70s were to be sold today far more would be sold than this version.

Brilliant set! I love the design of the packaging - it takes me right back. Bought for my 9 year old and the whole family can't leave it alone. You can choose random combinations and see what happens or use the design guide to achieve more complex results so suitable for all ages and abilities. Will last for years and let's face it, Spirograph never gets old! Absolute bargain.

Timeless toy! I had one, my daughter had be, now my grandson. He’s already had countless hours of fun creating!

This was a Xmas present for my Grandson, He told me it was better than the presents Santa had left him...played with it constantly for days
