Kendama Toy Now Available at Talbot's ToylandSan Mateo, CA, Jun 27, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Kendama, a traditional Japanese toy that is a spin off from the original "ball and cup" toy, is now available at Talbot's Toyland. A Kendama consists of three wooden cups of different sizes placed on the center of a wooden spike (Ken) and smaller cup with a ball (Tama) connected by a string. The Kendama "ball and cup" is also combined with the art of juggling with tricks that involve balances, juggles and catches. The ball is pulled upward so it may be caught in one of the cups or land in the hole on the spike. The Kendama craze started in Japan and arrived in the United States about a year ago. The craze has made its way to San Francisco and Talbot's Toyland. The Kendama strengthens hand-eye coordination, balance and reflex. It can be played by young and old alike. There are endless trick possibilities for both the beginner and the seasoned master. Kendama tricks are done by variations of juggling the ball in the three cups, spiking the ball with the Ken spike and balancing both in new, creative ways. Mastering the Kendama takes practice, focus, patients and creativity. Talbot's Toyland is one of just a few dealers carrying this toy. They have all models in stock. Prices start at just $9.99.
