"Catherine Hettinger has an inventor's mind: When she notices a problem, she tries to imagine a toy or device that can remedy it.

So when she heard about young boys throwing rocks at police officers and people walking past them while visiting her sister in Israel, her wheels started turning. She started brainstorming devices that could distract young children and provide them with a soothing toy to play with.

First, she thought of a soft rock that kids could throw. But then she tossed that idea aside, still thinking about other options when she returned to her home in Orlando, Fla. It was there that she eventually developed the idea that would become the original fidget spinner - more than two decades before the wildly popular device became the must-have toy for both kids and adults this year."
