What is a Fidget Spinner?
Originally designed to be a stress-relieving toy, a fidget spinner is a new toy that has become very popular in 2017. Fidget spinners (also known as spinners fidget) are typically made up of a bearing in a circular pad in the center of the toy. Around this center bearing spins two or three prongs that are spun by flicking with spare fingers.
The new hand spinner fidget toy was introduced in late 2016 and became a trendy toy in 2017, both with children and adults alike. Forbes Magazine dubbed fidget spinners as the trendy office toy for 2017 and soon kids were taking them to school...and subsequently getting banned in many schools as a distraction. Fidget spinner tricks range from simple to advanced. While some adults turn to hobbies such as backpacking or sewing or yoga to relieve stress, today many grownups are joining in the fidget spinner fun.
Fidget spinners come in a variety of materials but the most common are made from plastic, aluminum, or brass.
