Wilksy II Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 We have two in our house! And they are strangely satisfying to spin, I wish I could think up the next big craze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus bridge Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 We've got a few, I keep confiscating them and having a go myself. They started out as toys to help kids with ADHD concerntrate apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebarrels Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Seem to be everywhere, 3 for a tenner yesterday! Simple but quite satisfying to spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootthepigeon Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 At my kids school they have banned them in the playground, but are allowed them in class apparently as they are a stress relief tool? All sounds a bit odd to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynny Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) My 2 girls have them, someone has made millions out of a simple toy, its the must have thing for kids at the moment, My girls spin them and hold them in front of my eyes and say "Hypnotise, Hyptonise give us some quids Dad" LOL LOL Flynny Edited May 12, 2017 by flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Step daughter wanted one and I asked if she was autistic or had adhd and she was outraged. I said in that case she's can't have one. The noise is more irritating than having a fly stuck in the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhantom Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 yes, my daughter has 3. As said, somebody somewhere is extremely rich. Didn't realise they made a noise? Perhaps she's not doing it right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Stupid question......What are they, how do they work and what is the point of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Stupid question......What are they, how do they work and what is the point of them Haven't a clue, but there again, I've just bought a couple of Chines balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 They were designed to help kids with adhd and kids on the autistic spectrum focus on something. Flynny she's a kid that wants everything but doesn't value anything. I did relent a bit and said if she saved her pocket money she could have one. She hasn't saved her pocket money. Although having a knackered leg has made me more cantankerous than usual 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Unfortunately it's a trait encouraged by her father because he can't cope with her unless she's playing on her phone or he's promising to buy her something if she's good for the next 30 seconds. She's has a serious knowledge of shops in the bullring in Birmingham already and she's only 10. So sometimes me and her mum have to be the boring bad guys but we usually win with her because we're consistent and treat her like a normal kid. And I bought her the best pony in the world ever.

SuperGoose75 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Was speaking to a friend this morning who sells them and he told me they are out about four years,but the craze for them is pretty recent.Apparently the Lady who designed them is making very little as she didn't pay to continue the patent. They are absolutely everywhere with shop's and stalls trying to keep up with the demand. We got the Kids' a couple of quality ones yesterday.The cheaper ones are plastic.These ones are metal with a metallic coating and come in a presentation tin box. They are having great fun with them spinning them on their nose's. Such a simple ball bearing design but great fun. Cant do links as on phone but if you google who to use them on youtube you get hints on tricks ect. Like all Crazes' it is all a bit crazy and a big noise about very little. Maybe I could have asked who was spinning their fidgeters lol. Anyway I have farmers phoning about Crows so must get fidgeting getting gear ready.

Mice! Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ben the jockey, but I bought her a pony!! Talk about setting the bar high 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern01 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just bought 2 for my grandkids, only £3 each. Better than sweets I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ah mice I'm not as green as I am cabbage like, it was a cheap pony and it's now probably worth 10x worth what I paid for it. Also it's a handy size if I'm short of something nice to ride. It was an investment not a piddling competition with her dad. He's got way more disposable income than me to throw around on unnecessary tat for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
