The thaumatrope is letterpress printed in black, on heavy coaster stock, so it's heavy and durable. The hemp strings hold up through many many spins. It measures 4" and packaged in a clear sleeve with label and instructions.
Great stocking stuffer!
Wiki definition:
A thaumatrope is a toy that was popular in Victorian times. A disk or card with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to combine into a single image due to persistence of vision.
note: the photo of the thaumatrope in motion is a slightly different design than the one listed. It is shown here for illustration of how it works.
