Newton's Cradle

We've had this toy for many, many years and my kids loved playing with it. Now my grandkids like playing with it, too. Do any of you remember this toy?

[Beth]

I do remember although I never had one. I think I would enjoy playing with it myself.

[Paul]

Ah - I used to have one of these and others from the set. Used to love em :-)

[Henri Russell]

It was always mesmerizing.

[Lou Ann]

Oh yes! Many physics cartoons about it!

[Sarah Bremner]

So fascinating arent they. LOVE the photo.

[Ko*]

isnt it something from the 80's? Still is fun... and now maybe more cause you wont find em anymore...

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely

[mittens (Marilyn)]

@madeinnl Thank you Ko. I looked it up and all I could find was that it was named Newton's Cradle in 1967 so I'm guessing it was probably popular in the 1970's and 80's.

[JackieR]

Oh I do!!

[Margaret Brown]

Oh yes, and it’s still brilliant fun. Nice reminder and capture

[carol white]

We have one of these next to our phone in our dining room! It belongs to our boy and we all love it. I remember buying it at a museum of illusions in Haarlem in Holland.

[Dione Giorgio]

I do, even if we did not have one at home. Lovely capture and focusing.

[Suzanne]

Such fun, still sold these days, normally as a very big boys office toy

[Taffy]

Oh fun -- I had one of these! I like your POV in the image.
