Here you can see two children playing with a Spinning Toy. To make this Magnetic Loop Spinner you need a cycle spoke, ring magnets, bead, small plastic bottle and scissors. Cut a few rings from a small plastic water bottle. For this make a hole in the bottle and cut out a circle. Mark two diametrically opposite points on the rings and make small holes using the pointed end of the scissors. First place a bead in the cycle spoke. Then weave the plastic bottle hoop. Finally place the holes of the ring magnets in the spoke. Now hold the spoke vertically and give the magnets a twirl. The magnets will come spinning down. Because the magnets are off-center the lower end of the spoke will vibrate. The vibrations will make the plastic loop spin!! Try with two loops instead of one.
