SpiraSpinner

Toy Concept Sketch

 

The SpiraSpinner would be simply be spun by the child. As the t oy spins, flaps on the periphery of the toy would swing open on a hinge and would expose colored panels hidden beneath them. as the SpiraSpinner spins the colors mix visually and magically turn white, parking the childs interest. The toy itself is based on the principle of centripetal force. The top would only have rounded edges, including the point on which it spins for safety.
