Does anyone know where I can buy (or have one to sell) a lemon-twist skipping toy that was popular in the 70's? I had one as a child and loved it! My daughter received a similar toy for her birthday, but instead of the soft flexible black ankle hoop, there is a rigid plastic hoop. It flies off her foot and causes her to fall. I'd like to get her the original lemon twist, but can't find one for sale anywhere online.
Search "skip it toy" online. Here is one at Amazon.com that looks like it has a flexible loop for the ankle:

I loved that skip-it toy! I think now that have the same type of toy, but it makes a noise, plus i think they even have one that counts your skips. check toys r us online!
I loved those! My sister and I practically wore ours out all summer long. We had contests to see who could do it the longest and fastest...it was so fun!!!!!!!!!! I wish I knew where to get one to help you out, but I haven't seen any. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
I used to love that toy!!!! I would go up and down the driveway all day long!!! No wonder I was so skinny as a kid!!! Good luck finding one. I am going to look, too. :)
