Inspirograph. A real spirograph online.

Last updated on February 24, 2025

Small sequence nostalgia with this small online tool that recreates a real spirograph on your browser screen.

Remember this famous plastic game that kept rainy afternoons busy and children in need of creative leisure. The spirograph is a trademark of a large toy manufacturer. It is above all a drawing instrument that makes it possible to draw geometric figures as well as complex mathematical curves.

How many of these pieces of transparent plastic made up of different wheels and toothed rings have been sold around the world since its creation in the 1960s? Hard to say, but the tool is one of the essential games boxes that accumulate in children’s rooms between the ages of 7 and 77.

Nathan Friend probably also played with his pen or felt to draw in motion by moving the fragile edifice of gears.

Nathan declined it and nicely declined it on the web, with a site that reproduces a complete spirograph or pencil is replaced by your mouse pointer.

You will be able to juggle fixed wheels and movable wheels. You will be able to choose the color of your pencil and that of the paper that serves as a background. The site allows you to delete or save your creation. The whole thing is beautifully successful.

To give your heart to the book, the author suggests that youdisplay your creation in a shared gallery by all users of the tool. There are some impressive creations.

This nice online tool is free of charge. It should appeal to all audiences.
