Hold the toy with the middle and thumb, spinning it with a click. Now this simple-looking rotating toy is present in almost every home.
Fidget spinners are made of different materials - brass, titanium, copper, steel, plastic. Many manufacturers began to make spinner models from gold, platinum and decorate them with precious stones.
There are different opinions on the health benefits of spinners. Many believe that it helps in stressful situations by being a sedative, while others believe that this trinket is more distracting than calming. In some American schools, spinners are prohibited due to the fact that such toys distract children from classes.

In Russia, the company "Caviar" is engaged in the production and sale of expensive spinners. This brand has released a number of curious models priced from 15 to 999 thousand rubles.
