Japanese table top juggling fidget toy


Fidget toys have become very popular lately and it seems like everywhere I look there’s a new crowdfunding campaign for a spinning toy. Fun, but not unique. That’s where the Kururin flipping toy is different. It’s made of wood and designed to tumble end over end across a flat surface.

Watching someone play with a Kururin reminds me a little of juggling. It’s mesmerizing and looks easy enough for anyone to do.

The Japanese toy helps improve hand-eye coordination skills while scratching your fidget itch. You can buy a Kururin rolling stick for $12.99 from Kendamausa.com. You can also check Amazon, who sells other brands of this type of toy.
