Iconic Spirograph® Brand Captivates Young Creators with Animated Art!
BELOIT, Wis. (July 20, 2021) – PlayMonster proudly announces the launch of Spirograph® Animator, an innovative addition to the PlayMonster Arts & Crafts portfolio under license from Hasbro, which allows creators to spin their art to life using the power of light and motion. For over 50 years, Spirograph® has been celebrated as a classic way to create endless amazing designs, and now the Spirograph® Animator will inspire a new generation of creators who are growing up with technology at their fingertips. From age 8 to 108, artists of all ages can design magnificent masterpieces and bring them to life with the new Spirograph® Animator. The Spirograph® Animator is already wowing retailers and consumers, receiving recognition as a Games Category finalist in the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA) 2021 Best Toys for Kids list.
The Spirograph® Animator features iconic gears like the original, but the addition of spinning and lights creates a memorizing 3D effect and “wow” factor that brings designs to the next level. This deluxe studio set features bonus built-in storage and comes with 6 gears and 5 markers.
“A whole generation of children grew up creating with Spirograph® and fondly remember the joy they felt making their own intricate designs,” said Lisa Wuennemann, Associate Vice President of Marketing at PlayMonster. “PlayMonster is proud to introduce the brand to a whole new cohort of children, in a way that’s engaging and new, with the Spirograph® Animator. This product innovation is yet another way that PlayMonster is bringing a fresh approach to universal, classic play.”
The Original Spirograph® has already developed a cult-following across social media with over 100k users showcasing their unique creations. The Spirograph® Animator is available for purchase on Amazon.com and will be coming soon to retailers everywhere.
