Lollipopter (Green Apple)

I have this on my desk at work. It looks cute and I have had so many people comment on it. Once they know what it is, they want to play with it. I work in a high school and kids will come up and play with it.

We got this for our oldest for Christmas and we all love playing with it. It looks soo cool when it's in "tree form". Comes with a little stand so you can park it on the desk and it looks like art. Seriously though, why is it so satisfying to spin this thing back and forth. Hoping to get some more to play with/look at.

Purchased as a Xmas gift for my 11-yo nephew, who is “a toucher” (also on the spectrum, with mild hyperactivity), and he just loves it.He was a big fan of his Aaron’s Thinking Putty before I bought this, and now he has another tool in his stable. He naturally reaches for this when he needs focus or to create a sense of ease/calm for himself. We never told him to use it that way, either; so this is his natural assimilation of the “lolli”.The item itself is well designed, weight and texture are pleasant to touch, and motion is smooth and satisfying.

This is advertised as a "stress toy" and it certainly could be, but what fascinates me is the engineering and simplicity behind it. The directions recommend you don't twirl it with the stick between your palms but it's the only way I can get it to twirl hard enough. I suppose if you're gentle about it, it's ok. There's a trick to getting a bit of abrupt "stop" at the end of an abrupt twirl. I got a green one and it looks like a plant-ish thing, but I'd love if they made bigger ones, and in more decent colors than the garish neon Whatnots, but since this is for kids, maybe they enjoy that (black and white would be neat!) It IS very relaxing and you can't put it down once you get the hang of it. Showing it to people but not telling then what happens is like showing a kid a magic trick and all in all, it is! They just look like: O.o and ask what the heck just happened. Fun! I'd recommend buying them for anyone - it's a unique gift.

Really fun to manipulate and twirl back and forth. Not sure who loves it more, my son, or myself!

I bought one for my autistic son a few years ago and not only did he love it, many of my friends did as well. After 5-6 years, we wore it out and I was happy to be able to buy another identical to the first one.

In modern times, real toys are quickly losing ground to online entertainment, and many of the toys that are left are cheap plastic aimed at young kids. I appreciate this for being a fidget toy that is innovative and high quality enough that anyone can enjoy trying it. Its higher quality stands out amidst the sea of junk available on Amazon, making it actually feel worthy of shelf space and like it could be given to someone as a gift.

My students LOVE THIS! I teach 7th grade science and this lollipopter is an amazing visual for my lessons on genetics!! It is so fun to use and it really captures the attention of my students as well!!
