Inspirograph

Remember the old Spirograph? It was one of my favorite toys.  :D  Inspirograph is an online version. Bend over and kiss your time goodbye!

Looks like you can do a copy and paste of what you've made too!

When I was growing up, I always wanted a Spirograph but no one ever bought me one, so this is a welcome find--Thanks!

When I was young, we had a *giant* deluxe Spirograph, with track-pieces that could be pinned into a larger pattern. We never got them to work, but just the awe-inspiring possibilities took our breaths away.

I could never get the football or trefoil to work, but I sure tried. I saw a new kind at the bookstore recently, with funny-shaped tracks, but I doubt I could work those either. With the online version, your damn pen can't slip!

Do they even make those any more?
I've always thought that was the sort of thing that kids should have as toys.

I saw one in the bookstore a few days ago; not Spirograph, but same concept, fewer small gears but more and much weirder large tracks to roll them over.
