Throwing things
Werfen und Fangen ueben - mal nicht mit Ball!
Das Wurfknäuel ist ganz leicht zu greifen, denn es hat 6 dicke Schlaufen. Ideal zum Fangen- und Werfen-Lernen, aber auch ein toller Spaß für echte Schleuder-Könner. Und das zu Wasser und zu Land! Ø ca. 18 cm. Material: Polyester, waschbar. Farbe nach Vorrat.

throwing knob
A "throwing knob" is something like a throwing knife, a bumerang or a flispy, I guess.

: Sorry, but 'throwing knob' sounds terrible, doesn't exist on Google, and IMO doesn't accurately describe the toy.

Doesn't matter if it exists in Google or not. This might be a new invention. If "throwing knob" sounds terrible, how about "throwing knife"? Does it sound terrible?

Really needs a product name, but that might be opening a can of worms (trademarks, etc.) Here, for example, is the \"Manhattan Toy Winkel\" http://www.epinions.com/content_14304120452
