Stretchy String surprised us all last year. We sold so many miles of this product, we lost count… So What else could we do? We’re Play Visions, thus we innovated. New sizes, new functions, new packaging, it’s so much fun—you can pull it, oscillate it, twirl it, fling it, shoot it into the sky! It’s just to much fun for one, and its stretchy enough for two!
