Yip Stick Science

This toy is filled with intrigue and can become the platform for all kinds of educational purposes ... from light and harmonics to dexterity and social development.

Light

We recommend a Yip Stick with black propellor for those who want to experiment with light. Apply two different colored stickies to the propellor and watch them blur together to form a different color. Or turn off the lights and use a fluorescent stickie for the same purpose.

Paint different line shapes onto each side of the prop and observe the results. Record your experiments and share them with the world. You can even create a Yip Stick user group and invite your friends.

We recommend a lighter colored propellor for those who want to experiment with the wagon wheel effect. See if you can calculate the spin rate based on your phone's video refresh rate.

Harmonics

A physics professor said to us that Yip Stick is a great tool for teaching harmonics. Now we don't know anything about harmonics or energy redirection so we will trust his words. All we know is that it works, it's intriguing and it's a load of fun.

Social Development

It's not just about sharing a toy but of sharing an experience. Many of us can become isolated in the digital world whereas Yip Stick can offer a respite from anxiety and information overload.

It is a toy for all ages. It can provide interactive fun with giggles, laughs and amazement. Or just sit on the back porch and enjoy a quiet moment.

There is a drilled hole in the handle for a shoelace so you can hang it on the wall. Or keep it in the scissor drawer so everyone knows where it is.
