    • Description
    This gift for a child is a fresh take on an old-fashioned toy -- the spinning button or buzz saw toy.  Sometimes the best toys are non-electric. 

 Please note:using the toy takes a bit of practice.  There are numerous videos on YouTube that show how to get it spinning.  This particular example is well balanced and makes a pleasing buzz sound when it gets going.

I based the pattern on a vintage drawing of an octopus.
