The general obsession with unusual fun is comparable to the once fashionable fascination of tamagochi, tetris and yo-yo. Children and teenagers spin the spinner with the same enthusiasm that they caught Pokémon a few months ago.

Like any newfangled thing, this gadget has many opponents, claiming that it is not only useless, but also dangerous. Editorial "Site" I figured out why the spinner was on the list. plaything.





Why do you need a spinner?
The spinner, or, as in the original, Fidget Spinner, is a small symmetrical object, in the center of which is a bearing. One tap of the bearing drives the toy into action and it starts rotating around its axis.



Spinners come in different colors and shapes (most often in the form of a triangular star).







Is the spinner useful for children?
Studies have shown that repetitive activities help children with attention deficit disorder concentrate. You can lick a pen, draw in the fields, or you can spin the spinner - the effect is the same.



The fact is that these turntables are aimed at activating the tactile system, so they really help to fence off distracting and irritating factors and focus attention on the task at hand.







What's unusual?
If we consider the design itself, it is a piece of plastic or metal with a bearing in the center. The main advantage of the spinner is compactness. Therefore, such a toy can be taken anywhere: to school, travel, office.



Children organize whole competitions, come up with tricks and challenges, and then shoot a video and upload it to the network.







Parents sound the alarm
The popularity of the spinner is starting to work against the gadget. The main opponents of the toys were teachers. They claim that students are so passionate about spinning, throwing and performing tricks that they can’t concentrate on lessons.



Also, not all of these tricks end well. For example, an 11-year-old boy from Australia, according to his mother, almost lost his eye when he tried to perform another maneuver and did not catch a toy. She fell and hurt him.





Moreover, these gadgets can be deadly to children. This was told by Kelly Joek from Texas, whose daughter almost died, accidentally swallowing a small detail from a spinner. It was only possible to remove it through surgery. The woman posted this story on her social media page to warn her parents.
