  • Great toy for my 2 year old ad 4 year old grand sons
Great toy. I got these for my 2 year old and 4 year old grand sons, and they LOVE THEM!!!! They do tangle fairly easily, but with an adult standing by to untangle, they provide a lot of fun. I would buy them again!

  • Easy to use, fun for the family!
Fun gift for my son — and husband! The item comes with 3-4 strings that glow-in-the-dark (with a blacklight on the device). Rechargeable, easy to use. I’m a little concerned the strings may wear over time but so far it’s been really fun!

  • ZipString Luma Glow-in-the-Dark String Toy
This is a surprisingly cool toy that combines physics and play. Once you get the hang of it, the spinning loop of string creates shapes and tricks that look almost like magic. The built-in LED makes it even more fun in dim lighting, which adds to the “wow” factor for kids. There is a small learning curve at first, but once you figure it out it becomes addictive to play with.

  • FUN
Don’t hesitate to purchase these. I bought them for my grandchildren’s stocking ages 14-22. EVERYONE in the family had a great time playing with the ZipString They’re quite unique, in that, it’s a mystery on how they work. A little pricy, but worth it. Would recommend for older kids 12 and up because, they’re pricey and younger ones won’t appreciate the concept. Be sure to play with it at night using the neon strand!! ... show more

  • Bought One For My Son, I Want One Too
I just gave this to my 10 year old son. It was a HUGE hit. Fun, addictive. It's just cool. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I may end up buying one for myself as I want to play with it too. I'd give it 4.5 stars (but I'll round up to 5) as the only issues I'm feeling are (1) the string can tangle quickly, which I do understand that failure when playing with this thing makes when you master it it better, but I wish it was a little easier to unknot/untangle; (2) it is a little louder than what I'd like; and (3) I wish there were ties included for the strings or some sort of included string organization... The strings didn't come with any rubber bands or twist ties, but the short charging cable did lol. ... show more

The highlight of Christmas! I bought one for each of my girls and it was the highlight of our Christmas. It works great! The battery life last FOREVER! Easy to use for my 6 year old. My girls love making it do all the tricks. Perfect fun for kids at any age. The color of the strings is perfect! Even adults will love it! ... show more

  • It's alright
It's alright. I don't know if mine is just faulty, or if it's just the product, but it gets pretty warm after about 5 minutes of use and you have to press the button kinda hard to get the string to continously flow. If I don't give it a lot of pressure on the button then it'll turn off and on a lot.
