The Astrojax(R) orbiting ball toy is three balls on a string where the center ball slides. Hold an end ball and oscillate your hand and the balls orbit. From simple vertical orbits, horizontal orbits, and figure-eight (butterfly) orbits, to wild and crazy patterns and sophisticated tricks. In three balls on a string lies a universe of orbital possibilities

Astrojax Maya Sky Designs
Maya Sky Glow
Play with Glows allows you to really focus on the motion of the balls and lose yourself in the orbits. Although not bright enough to make a dramatic impression in most bars and night clubs, the balls have a strong glow great for intense, meditative play in a dark room or outside at night. For really quick charging, use a black light (i.e., UV light).
Each set ships with a beautiful Bolsa Bag made from hand-woven fabric.
Maya Sky Fiesta
The Astrojax Maya Sky Fiesta has six-pointed red stars against a yellow background. The happy pattern and lively orbits can't help but bring a smile to your face!
Packaged in a beautiful handwoven-fabric Bolsa Bag.

Fair Trade Principles
We believe it is urgently necessary to develop and implement environmentally- and socially-responsible business practices, and are intent on doing so and sharing what we learn in the process so that others may follow suit. We also believe that open-ended, creative, physical play is vital to the development of children and greatly beneficial to adults.
The Science
There's a lot of science in Astrojax's three balls on a string. Astrojax has been used to teach physics at the grade school, high school, and college levels, NASA has taken Astrojax into outer space as part of its Toys in Space education program, and Astrojax has even been the subject of research on nonlinear dynamics and chaos using sophisticated computer modeling and advanced mathematics.
Hybrid Artisan/High-Tech Design
As far as we know, the Astrojax Weave is the first product to combine hand-crafted textiles with precision-tooled metal and injection-molded plastic. Also, as far as we know, we are the only company to produce a crocheted item with a size tolerance of +/- 1 mm! To properly interface the crochet, plastic, and metal necessitates a level of precision previously unheard of for crochet, requiring extensive training of our craftspeople and stringent quality control to bring you the best version of Astrojax yet!
