FyrFlyz Spinning Light Toy
Trip the light fantastic with the new spinning toy that’s set to take the UK by storm. Already a huge hit in America, Fyrflyz (pronounced like fireflies) are tipped to be a best seller for Christmas 2011. If you’re searching for a toy that’s affordable and has a ton of tricks up its sleeve, look no further.
Anyone old enough to remember the Coca Cola yo-yo craze of the late 80s/early 90s will instantly see the appeal of Fyrflyz. In short, they’re little illuminated oval-shaped disc attached to a strong cord. They spin easily and come in 3 different styles: Cyclone, Blue Angel and Nytfyr, each of which create different effects. It’s easy to see why Fyrflyz are destined to become this year’s hot toys. They bear all the hallmarks of a toy that’s set to spark a craze amongst the under 10s.
Like the yo-yos of yesterday, the idea behind Fyrflyz is for kids to perform neat tricks with their friends. From fly wheels to shooting stars and orbits, there are a whole host of tricks to master. Fyrflyz trump yo-yos thanks to colour coordinated illumination. It’s possible to create some truly stunning shows, including rays of streaming light in white and green, plus red and white streaks.
Kids can swing, spin or twirl them to create spinning light shows. The tricks look hard at first glance but are surprisingly simple to master once you’ve had a few practice sessions.
A real bargain at under £10, Fyrflyz make great stocking fillers for kids aged 8 and up. Snap one up before stocks run dry.
