A fidget spinner is a small ball-bearing device that users can rotate very quickly between their fingers. It was originally seen as a device to help people who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Many teachers barred students from using fidget spinners during class. So, students decided to try to construct their own fidget spinner using paper. The search term "How to make a paper fidget spinner" became a top search in May, just in time for the end of the school year in the United States.

指尖陀螺是一种小型的滚珠轴承装置，用户可以把它在手指之间快速旋转。它最初被视为一种帮助多动者患者的工具。许多教师禁止学生在课堂上玩指尖陀螺。所以学生们决定尝试用纸来做他们自己的指尖陀螺。“如何制作纸质指尖陀螺”成为了五月份最热门的搜索关键字，这正好赶上美国一个学年的结束。
