Are the knots done? The diabolo is now ready for you to use and have fun with your family: spins, tricks, tosses, there are so many ways to have a great time with your kids.
Using the diabolo
Roll the diabolo bobbins from left to right (right to left if you're left handed) then raise the string in one swift movement. Move the stick in your dominant hand up and down quickly.

Now you're ready to try a toss!
