Review on Spirograph 01001 S 🎨 Deluxe Design Set: Unleash your Creativity! by Brian Trujillo

Wow. So close to being a great tool/toy. Gone are the pins used in the '70s, replaced with sticky clay to hold the ring in place. Hooray, there are no holes in the paper. The problem is that these rings are very fragile. They flex during use, which can cause the wheel teeth to slip or otherwise ruin the design. I followed the directions by applying 4 dots of putty to the ring and pressing it down. Didn't stick. Ahh, the teeth are 1-2mm thick, but the ring itself is much thinner. Okay, thicker putty dots. Push forward evenly. Oh, but now the ring has ribs where the putty is, so when I press on it, it flexes. Could have been a really nice luxury set but was ruined by the manufacturer's decision to save a few microcents by not having enough plastic. for rings. They should be rigid, not flexible. I'm considering returning this because it brings my seven year old to tears. My adult hands and coordination also have major problems, I can hardly blame the child for that!
