The company was founded in January 2012 by Doug Cass, Colleen Loughman, Joe Yassay, and Brent Oeschger.
The Spirograph (along with Kahootz' Lite-Brite) was exhibited at the 2013 Sweet Suite 13 show in Chicago, Illinois and the 2014 American International Toy Fair in New York City, New York
In a 2013 interview, Cass stated that he brought back the Spirograph because he saw an opportunity for success in the nostalgia market and felt that it would do well.
