About the Twist'n Slide:

• The simple, yet most wanted toy ever. Why? When you're bored or find yourself doodling and just want to be occupied, it's Twist'n Slide time! The flexible wire connecting the handles allows for creating obstables, triple loops, or even artwork through which you will have to maneuver the attached rubber ball from one end to the other. Get together with a few of your friends and see who can make it across the fastest. Even more, you can build your opponent's obstacle or pathway by twisting the wire and then compete to see who can make the ball slide across it the fastest.
• Age Group: 5-12 yrs This is the prime age group that loves to constantly be fiddling with toys or objects and always making a game of everything in sight. The Twist'n Slide is a great one person or group challenge game. It is light to carry around with you and can be played indoors or even outside. Ultimately it is a game of wits (overcoming the wire twists) and agility in transferring the ball from side to side. A perfect toy for the young and active child-like mind!
• The physical principles of this toy are learned by playing the game. Learning what twists and turns allow for easy sliding of the ball or what doesn't work is a great insight into the basic world of physics. Even more, you can allow gravity to be on your side while trying to slide the ball across by holding the toy such that the ball needs to travel downwards across the wire twists to reach the other side.
• The Twist'n Slide is made of plastic handle bars, flexible wire, and a rubber ball attached to the wire such that it can slide. Thus, this toy has minimal manufacturing costs, while being relatively durable, as long as the rubber ball, wire, or handle bars are not broken off or smashed. In terms of safety, the proper use of this toy provides almost no chance of injury. Only if this toy is misused or thrown could there be the potential of harm to the children using it or others.
