Springs & Coils

Walking springs are the desk toy people still pick up thirty years on: a metal or rainbow coil that walks down a stack of books and gets passed around an office. Jornik makes one and two-inch metal springs, mini rainbows, and a three-inch jumbo, from about a dollar.

The printed sleeve or header card carries the artwork, since the coil itself has no flat surface. They fit school science programs, STEM outreach, and conference bags where a small desk item beats another pen. See novelty toys or puzzles and brain teasers for more desk-sized items.
