Build a Folk Toy Acrobat

This toy is fascinating to watch and hard to put down once you start playing with it. Just squeeze the handles together and watch the little acrobat do his gymnastic feats. A PDF file of the measurements and outlines can be downloaded from the link below. If you like my videos than please subscribe.

Thanks for the video. You just took me back to my childhood. I made a monkey for my sister when I was in the 6th grade. She loved it but it got burned down in a house fire. As old as she is she keeps talking about it. Of course I had forgotten how to make it till now. Your's is a lot safer. Thanks again.

I like the fact that Rick wants to make these toys safe for kids! His video is easy to follow and I was able to build
an almost perfect acrobat toy my first time out. I will do better on the second one! Thanks Rick!

Мне отец в детстве такую игрушку делал, один в один, а было это в восьмидесятых годах , в глухой сибирской деревне.

Great video. Pity that none of the links are available any longer and his ETSY shop no longer has content.

[@RickMayotte]

Thanks for watching the video. I no longer sell toys and I'm in the middle of making changes to the channel.
