      That's what I said (dig the Spirograph out).
      I had one when I was little, and bought one for the kids when they were little.
      Lots a holes in those wheels and whatever (I think even geared sticks for those gears to around..)
      Made me want to dig the kid's out though..) 😂

    Got a felt pen spinning top from the dentist as a child… only I never knew to uncap the pen!! I just enjoyed the decent spinning top for a year or more before I even realized it came apart. By the time I got to try the (admittedly cheap) marker pen, it was half-dried and barely marked under he weight of itself.
