What are "clackers"?
Clackers are a toy consisting of two plastic or wooden balls connected by a string. The goal is to make the balls hit each other repeatedly by swinging them up and down. Clackers became popular in the 1960s but were eventually banned in some places due to safety concerns. To play, one holds the string with both hands and swings the balls so they clack together, creating a rhythmic sound. The toy requires coordination and timing to keep the balls moving without tangling the string. It is a fun and challenging toy that improves hand-eye coordination.
