Questions about this toy
What is included in the box with the Navir Space Wonder Gyroscope?
The set includes the gyroscope itself, the pull-cord for spinning it up, and a pedestal stand for performing balancing tricks. The gyroscope features a 65 mm diameter metal rotor disc housed within a green plastic gimbal frame, and everything arrives packaged in a clear perspex box.
How do you spin the Navir Space Wonder Gyroscope, and how long does it stay spinning?
Wind the pull-cord around the axle, hold the frame steady, and give the cord a sharp, smooth pull to set the rotor spinning. Once up to speed the gyroscope can spin for several minutes before friction causes it to slow, giving plenty of time to explore balancing acts on a fingertip, table edge, or the included pedestal.
Are there any safety considerations for young children using this gyroscope?
Navir rates the Space Wonder for ages 6 and over. The gyroscope contains small parts - including the rotor and cord assembly - that present a choking hazard, so it is not suitable for children under 3 years. Adult supervision is recommended when younger or less experienced children are learning to operate it for the first time.
