Diabolo play set with two handsticks - colour may vary

Description

A diabolo is a double cup that you spin on a string strung between two sticks. Moving your hands up and down in turn brings it up to speed, and after that you can throw it, make it jump across or simply keep it spinning as long as you can.

The set comes on a blister card and holds a diabolo, two yellow handsticks with black ends and the string that runs between them. You need nothing more: out of the packaging and away you go.

You do need some room for it, because on the throw the diabolo goes into the air - the card shows a child who has just tossed it up. The first few times it takes practice to keep it straight, and that is exactly where the fun sits: every attempt a little longer, every throw a little higher.

The card carries a 3+ roundel. The colour differs from one piece to the next - the diabolo pictured is orange, in the lifestyle photo it is green - so what arrives is an assorted colour.
