By now, you or one of your friends probably owns a three-armed toy called a fidget spinner. It seems like almost every kid has one, but how did they become so popular? The toy was originally designed to help children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) stay relaxed and focused. As soon as others saw the toys, children all over the world wanted one. They shared and talked about them on social media websites, like Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
The Internet made the fidget spinner popular almost overnight. That’s how powerful the Internet can be. Kids love watching other children on YouTube play with their fidget spinners or even just open the box of a new toy. Toy companies noticed this trend of “unboxing” videos. So a company in California made a ball called LOL Surprise Doll. You unwrap layers of it to find all the little toys hidden inside. You don’t know what’s inside until you open it!
