ABSTRACT:
A hand toy for improving the fine motor skills of a young child includes a central hub having a plurality of angled openings passing therethrough such that the openings do not intersect one another. The hand toy further includes a plurality of elongate rods each respectively slidably received within one of the openings in the central hub. The terminal ends of the rods extend outwardly from the hub and the rods are slidably movable relative to the central hub without noticeable friction. Each end of the rods has an enlarged stopper element mounted thereon to limit the sliding movement of the rods relative to the hub to prevent the rods from becoming disassembled from the hub during use. The hand toy still further includes a plurality of differently shaped and differently colored ring members which are received on the rods and slidably movable between the central hub and the stopper element at the respective end of the rod.
