Today is Wednesday - Magic Spiral Set

If you had one of these as a child, you already know exactly what this is and you are already a little bit excited. And if your child hasn't discovered the particular joy of spinning a toothed wheel around a frame and watching an impossibly perfect geometric shape appear as if from nowhere, then honestly, what a moment they have ahead of them. This is Moulin Roty's Magic Spiral Set: large frames, small toothed wheels, felt tips or coloured pencils, and approximately one afternoon of genuine absorbed concentration while you drink a hot cup of tea in peace.

We love it because:

• The results look spectacular and the child did it entirely themselves, which is a wonderful combination
• Large frames and multiple toothed wheels mean endless different shapes and patterns to discover
• Works with felt tips or coloured pencils, so whatever is already on the table will do
• The kind of toy that produces that lovely focused quiet where you realise ten minutes have passed and no one has asked you for anything
• Beautiful Moulin Roty packaging makes it a gift that looks as good as it plays
• No batteries, no screen, just geometry being quietly magical
