A list of all skill toys.

I know about another that isn’t in the list, Hand Sacks or Hand Hacky Sacks.

Oh no! A whole list of new things for me to spend money on o.o

What about gloving?

Poker Chip/Deadeye/Coin Flourishes are all the same thing and none are on here.

Bumping this thread to the top because I thought this was a really neat list! I haven’t even heard of some of these!
I added some random youtube videos to each for a visual representation.

What are some others you guys know of?

Here’s one…

Is fidget spinners already on here?

My dad (nearly 80) has a pair of these that he’s had since he was young. Of course I’ve never been allowed to touch them.

If he’s 80 there probably worth a fortune now but for him it’s sentimental value

Yeah. He also has an old Duncan wood that he got in school from the traveling demonstrator. This particular demonstrator painted a palm tree on his.

Pretty cool, I can imagine how that would look

I would try to take a picture but I would be met with extreme skepticism. :rofl::rofl:

how many skill toys would you think will be added to this list after 13 years??

Rhythm Bones!!!

Musicians lump these in with ‘toy’ instruments, but they require much more skill than the clapping hands on a stick, and are more versatile than castanets, kartal, claves, etc. Multiple setups available using 1 or 2 hands, different grips, different number of bones per hand.

After yoyos this is my second favourite skill toy and then there’s a sharp dropoff.
