This is a small 3" diameter 1/8" thick wooden circle whirling toy These toys are similar to the 'button toys' you might have played with as a child. I have added two small spools (see image), which serve as "handles" to help protect fingers against the pull of the string. I will include an extra strings with this toy as they tend to wear out over time. How to Play: The disc has two holes drilled at its center, and a loop of string threaded through it. To play with the toy, grab the two spools and pull your hands apart so that one spool rests behind the joint of each of your middle fingers. Position the disc so that it's centered slack on the string, then start spinning the toy away from you until the string on either side has several twists in it. Once the string is twisted, you simply pull your hands apart with a little force, this will force the disc to start spinning, and when the string has unwound, the disc will continue to spin, winding the string in the opposite direction. This creates a yo-yo effect of sorts and the toy will keep spinning as you move your hands apart (when the string is twisted) and back together as it starts to untwist). Safety Information: The spools could cause a choking hazard, so this toy is NOT for children under 3. The toy can move pretty fast once you get it going, so adult supervision is recommended. This toy is stained with an 'early american' finish and coated with shellac. Shellac is an all-natural food-safe finish, and the stain has been tested, is non-toxic, and complies with all applicable regulations.
