I bought this product because I liked the idea of the different designs that can be made with this gyroscope. It quickly became something I put in my purse to keep the kids (and I) entertained. The designs are fun and easy to use, my 3 year old can use them. My only complaint is that the orange strips come off the ends, but you don't need them and they're easy to put back on. Overall, this is a great toy to keep little and big hands busy!
