for making this spinning spindle you require an ice cream stick and some thread. take the
ice cream stick and cut it into two and with the scissors cut V-notches on both the ends.
if you wet the ice cream sticks, its much easier to cut them. you will also require
two loops of thread which are about 50cms long. so take half ice cream stick and ask
a friend to stretch the thread, and place the stick. the thread should be tight, in
tension. then the other friend keeps rotating and there will be twists on both the sides.
then place the second loop on the notch of the stick and release it slightly. so some
of the twists would come on the first loop and all you need to do is pulling and pushing
the loop and the spindle will spin. you can change the patterns on this spinning spindle.
its a delight to behold. it is like a lathe machine, it causes a spindle. it is also a
game of cooperation because two people can play it together. this is a toy which costs
no money and keep it in a pocket and it is a delight to play.
