Physics teaching tool, executive desk diversion, and meditation aide. The Newtons cradle, or Newtons "pendulum", has been a classic in the science-themed toys department for years. It was invented by British actor Simon Prebble in the late 60s, and named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion. The novelty "toy" demonstrates that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The fact that the resulting demonstration, and the rhythmic sound it produces has a calming and relaxing effect, has made Newton's cradles popular desktop devices. If you're looking to take action and buy a Newtons cradle, we've got some options we hope you'll have a good reaction to...

Our overall top pick in the collection, the Coffled Newtons cradle, is a very traditional design, honoring the original invention created over 50 years ago. It's testament to Newtons cradles how this simple design has endured, and remained popular for so many years. 

If you are looking to shake things up, then there are alternatives that bring a different twist to the classic design. The Faxadella Holocradle Newtons cradle for example, is made from "holographic" materials that means every time you set the pendulums in motion you get to experience a mini rainbow light show. 

Another option we love is the MarsGeek Newtons cradle fridge magnet. As well as holding any notes, lists, photos, or pictures in place on your fridge door, this novelty item offers a geeky way to keep yourself entertained in the kitchen. Just don't get too distracted and forget why you were headed to the fridge in the first place...
