You Gotta See This Japanese Folk Toy in Action!

March 19, 2026

Okay, so Tim, bless his heart, got this Japanese folk toy (I think it's called a Kendama, or something similar?) and has been trying to master it. I filmed him playing with it the other day, and you guys, it's seriously harder than it looks. He was so determined!

It’s one of those things that seems simple at first glance, but then you realize it requires some serious hand-eye coordination and a lot of patience. He definitely had a few funny fails, but he also got some pretty impressive catches!

Hit play and watch him give it a go. Let me know if any of your kids (or husbands!) have tried one of these!
