I LOVED my Spirograph!!! And, I DID have the multi-colored pens. :) I loved my Lite Brite, too.
I actually bought my husband a Spirograph for Christmas one year, not long after we were married, because he never had one as a kid. Believe it or not, we actually sat there and played with it like two little kids.
When our son was old enough, we let him play with it, but like you, he never really loved it.
My daughter had both toys, and seemed to prefer LiteBrite, largely because the Spirograph wheel would always seem to pop out the frame just before you were finished. LiteBrite is long gone, though, and she still has her Spirograph, which in now enjoyed on occasion by her neices (our granddaughters).
Nice post, great memories...
I wanted a Spirograph and a Lite Brite, but I never got either. My parents were really cheap.
CTG & Jack: The only downside with Lite Brite was that they never gave you enough of the colors to make decent pics. Just sayin'
JSuss: Well as far as I'm concerned, you didn't miss out on much with the Spirograph.
The multi-color pen was essential to making trippy Spirograph designs
Like Jack's kid, I always had a problem with the wheel popping out of the frame before I was done..
I had Spirograph and Super Spirograph but I could only make the simple designs and not the massive ones where you actually had to build the frame. I can still see the tiny red push pins that came with it now. Imagine selling a toy that comes with actual pins today...
I had LiteBrite too. Remember the song? "LiteBright, makin' things with light...Outta sight makin' things with LiteBrite..."
