Bring Back Spirograph

Help me give my students pens and Spirograph gears for them to create designs

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schlein's classroom raised $193

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students in my school love to draw and create in our new Maker Space Lab. They are so creative and are excited when I bring in new materials for them to use.

Let's bring back a classic design tool~ Spirographs with gel pens!

This will give students hours of enjoyment as they create new and beautiful pictures. Let's give them a peek into the past by bringing such an amazing style of design. Students of all ages from Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade will enjoy this activity in the Maker Space Lab
