Whether you want a small Spirograph set to slip in your bag and take on holiday, or a Spirograph set with all the bells and whistles – we’ve got you covered. Here are all the Spirograph sets available on the market now:

x ′ = ρ cos ⁡ t ′ , y ′ = ρ sin ⁡ t ′ . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}x'&=\rho \cos t',\\y'&=\rho \sin t'.\end{aligned}}} The Original Spirograph® Deluxe Set features all the iconic wheels and rings of the original, re-engineered and updated for today. Or from that set, using one of the shapes that isn’t circular, like the long thin extended one, or the rugby-ball shaped cog. Reply Depending on the relative circle sizes and the pen-hole distance, you’ll get various different types of shape – some closer to the pointy hypocycloid, and some closer to a circle; when the hole is near to, but not on the edge, the pointy ends become thin loops; when the hole is close to, but not at the centre, it’s like drawing a circle but slightly missing where you started, so you get something fairly smooth but that wiggles in and out from the centre gently. Spirograph drawings from the outside hole to the middle hole, on the same size cogThis is exactly what it says – it’s the original Spirograph set, but it comes with eight coloured markers instead of the six markers and two biros in the original (listed above). Well, by markers – they’re essentially felt tip pens, so just be careful not to pause for too long in one place or the colour may bleed through the paper. It’s down to personal preference – do you prefer using markers or biros? Let us know in the comments below! Travel Spirograph set

The kit features a high quality, durable carrying case with snap-in storage and a built-in drawing surface. The precision engineered Spirograph® gears work with the 3 design pens included in the set as well as with most standard pens, felt tips and pencils. There is also the curve generated from taking two small cogs and running one round the other, generating an epicycloid or epitrochoid. Spirograph sets come with at least one pen; some sets include two or three. By using the pens included with the set, you’re assured that they will fit in the wheel holes. However, you can use any pen or pencil that fits in the wheel hole, whether it came with the set or not. Spirograph putty holds pieces securely on the paper so that you can create intricately beautiful designs with no holes!Spirographs inspire creativity. Use colored pens and pencils to bring color and an extra level of depth to your creations. Some sets are sold with colored markers for this very purpose, but you can also use any marker that fits in the wheel holes. Spirographs can produce a multitude of different interesting and intricate patterns, but did you know that these patterns have a special name? The geometric drawings that a Spirograph makes are mathematical curves known as epitrochoids and hypotrochoids. Let ( x c , y c ) {\displaystyle (x_{c},y_{c})} be the coordinates of the center of C i {\displaystyle C_{i}} in the absolute system of coordinates. Then R − r {\displaystyle R-r} represents the radius of the trajectory of the center of C i {\displaystyle C_{i}} , which (again in the absolute system) undergoes circular motion thus:

The second one of these – where inside the small circle the pen-hole is – is also a bit more information than we need. Since the orientation of the small circle will change as it goes round the big circle, the only thing that matters about the position of the pen is how far away from the centre it is. That is, if you have two holes on the cog which are the same distance from the centre of the cog, they’ll both draw the same pattern, even if you start from the same place – again, it just might be rotated around, as you’ll be starting from a different point along the line. Beginners often slip the gears, especially when using the holes near the edge of the larger wheels, resulting in broken or irregular lines. Experienced users may learn to move several pieces in relation to each other (say, the triangle around the ring, with a circle "climbing" from the ring onto the triangle). If you want something to keep the kids entertained while travelling, the Travel Spirograph set is perfect.Now define the new (relative) system of coordinates ( X ′ , Y ′ ) {\displaystyle (X',Y')} with its origin at the center of C i {\displaystyle C_{i}} and its axes parallel to X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} . Let the parameter t {\displaystyle t} be the angle by which the tangent point T {\displaystyle T} rotates on C o {\displaystyle C_{o}} , and t ′ {\displaystyle t'} be the angle by which C i {\displaystyle C_{i}} rotates (i.e. by which B {\displaystyle B} travels) in the relative system of coordinates. Because there is no slipping, the distances traveled by B {\displaystyle B} and T {\displaystyle T} along their respective circles must be the same, therefore Looking for something a bit more glam than just pen on paper? How about teaming a Spirograph up with sparkly wax scratch art sheets? Jumbo-sized pieces make creating Spirograph art fun and easy for little hands, and an easy-to-carry drawing tablet doubles as a workstation and handy storage case to keep everything neat. The set includes easy-to-use gears, felt tip pens, paper and a handy instruction guide.

While many will have played with it and produced some interesting patterns, and presumably also had a vague sense that some maths is happening, I suspect many won’t have thought about it too hard. I certainly didn’t, until recently when someone gave me a mini-Spirograph kit as a gift. This inspired me to dig a little deeper into how this thing works, and what kind of shapes you can make with it.
