MOKURU - Fidget Toy Giveaway

Last months the kids and I had the opportunity to review the latest fidget toy to sweep the nation, MOKURU. This wooden desk toy is the latest invention to come from Japan, it aims to test an individual's focus and motor skills and for something that looks quite simple, it's extremely addictive once you get going.

You can see from my You Tube video that it takes some getting used to however the frustration from not mastering it initially just spurs you on to keep trying, it's like you're fighting with yourself to do better each time you pick it up. I'm still attempting to flip it up and catch it (I've never been good at using both hands at the same time) but what I love is that has kept the kids quiet for hours at a time as they concentrate on flipping it over.

MOKURU - The Latest Fidget Toy Craze?

MOKURU, it is advertised as 'the amazing desk toy', but could it be the latest in the fidget toy craze that's taken our nation by storm? Well my children and I were recently sent a MOKURU of our own to test out so I might just have the answer to that question. But another question first...

What is MOKURU?

Created by Mr. Masakazu Node, in simple terms it is a desk top toy, created from a quality beech wood, it is something that's relatively easy to use but with endless possibilities to its game play, it requires a certain amount of skill and focus to become a master.

In Japan, “wood” translates to “moku”, and “flipping” translates to “kuru”. That’s how we came up with the name, “MOKURU”.
