The term 'stringed toy' refers to a type of toy that is manipulated by a string. The most common example of this type of toy is the TOP, which is a spinning toy with a pointed end that is spun around by a string. Another popular stringed toy is the yoyo, which is a two-piece toy consisting of a spool connected to two discs by an axle and a string. The yoyo is manipulated by the string, allowing it to be spun and thrown in various ways.
