I’m thinking stuff like a magnifying glass for roasting ants (don’t actually do this) or those big hair-clip claws.

    Zippo is the figit toy of boomers.

    Roller bearings, they’re so satisfying.

    Arch lighters. I have one that fits in a zippo case!

    Bumble ball, it’s a baby toy with a spinning motor in it, bounces around wildly when you hit the button. As an adult, these things are hilarious and a holding one is a great ADHD stim.

    You can make a herbarium out of snack jars from dollar tree. I’ve never had so much fun looking at a jar of dirt.

    Oragami. Any time I’m left unattended with scrap paper I the area with butterflies and flowers. Keeps the hands busy and everyone gets blown away by it.

        Terrarium is probably what they meant, though it wouldn’t surprise me if the term might be used differently in different languages, even.
