There is evidence that early whirligigs were popular in China as long ago as 400 B.C. And evidence that whirligigs are still popular today can be found in my garage right now. True to the toy's roots, my whirligigs, or pin wheels, are also from China.
It is said that pin wheels symbolize "turning one's luck around." If so, these decorative, spinning toys were the perfect decoration for backyards this summer. As masks and vaccines didn't immediately banish COVID-19, a little extra assistance from some colourful whirligigs cannot be anything but a good call.
