NOTHING LIKE IT! Its not a new remote control car, blaster, or building set. This toy truly is brand new. Brilliant idea!

EASY FOR EVERYONE I have bought 5 of these now for kids ages 6, 7, 9, 10, and 13. They all loved them and, better still, they can all do them on their own, great videos available to learn tricks too. Great Easter basket item :). get one for the dog too because string is irresistible to pets too!

Ultimate conversation piece I always start with "I'm going to show you something you've never seen in your life". Everyone loves it. I've shown it to at least 60 people. Doctors, lawyers, the police, housewives, kids, moms, dads, a 92-year-old man. Everyone loves it (except for my cat). Big fun. A great conversation piece.

MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS ONE! We LOVE our ZipStrings!!! Had to buy 3 so my kids wouldn’t fight over time. Ha ha!

Endless Fun We gave our two grandchildren (ages 8 and 10) Zip String for Christmas and they are thoroughly enjoying it! They continue to come up with different tricks and challenges! It is providing lots of fun, in addition to some strong thoughts and challenges!
"I've been part of the team that reviews toys at Good Housekeeping since 2018, and one of the best parts of the process is when we get to host kids upstairs in the Good Housekeeping Institute Labs for in-person toy testing.
I never would have guessed that kids would be so impressed by a piece of string."

Amazing fun and yet easy and sinple to use! Lights up and glows in the dark-rechargeable so no batteries needed! Its great!
This was a present for my son who is 9. It didn’t take long for him to figure out how to change strings and start practicing tricks. This is an awesome gift for a kid.
Bought it for my son's birthday, he turned 10, and he told me it was one of his favorite gifts that he got. I think its a really cool invention and its almost mesmerizing to watch when its going. We might have to buy a second one at some point..
I bought 4 of these for my grandkids and they love them ...in fact they were such a big hit that the neighborhood had to have them too! They came quick and the fun continues today!
Grandkids were very excited when they saw what they were. One is really into Spiderman now. Both grandkids, ages 5 and 10, were able to use it easily and had a lot of fun.
I ordered this for my granddaughter.... it was all she talked about and was truly excited when t came in the mail! She has played with it all the time..... it's truly a great toy! I recommend it highly and think it would be a great Christmas gift!
Had a shipping issue and the responsiveness of this company is unparalleled. I've never had a company respond so quickly. Customer service alone will have me recommending this product!
As a product review, its super fun and my boys love playing Spiderman, and I love not having a huge mess to cleanup.
I bought these as Christmas gifts for 2026, so I can't speak to how the kids will react yet. However, I played with one of them when it came in and it's a lot of fun :). I appreciate the multi-item discount available when ordering direct from ZipString. I ordered 6 of them, so the savings was substantial for me.
We bought this for my grandsons birthday. He turned 4, loves spiderman and wanted a web shooter. He absolutely loves this and a 4 year old has no issues with it at all. Even his 2 year old brother has been playing with it. Both dress in their spiderman costumes and web you up.
This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. The glow in the dark feature is also a big hit!
My grandson loved it!! He just turned four... A little big for his arm but it's so easy to use, he was able to handle it with ease. It really is as fun and as easy to use as advertised!
