For some reason, we keep thinking about all of these favorite toys from our own childhood that we want our daughter to get to play with as well. Remember spirograph? It's really such a simple concept with such a beautiful result; we've often thought about hanging them as art.

Apparently, just like the Paint with Water books we blogged about- these are also hard to locate these days. There are similar items on sale on Amazon- but the original Spirograph goes for a LOT of money. Looks like we'll be perusing our mom's basement sometime soon.

At any rate, the spiral is the monthly theme over at Unplug Your Kids so they're going to be doing some neat projects using spirograph.
