A flying spinning tether toy has an annular rim and a transverse bar across the diameter joined to the rim. The transverse bar has an axial tubulation with a center hole at the axis of rotation. A closed loop of line passes through the center hole and around the rim at one point. A tether line connects to the loop. The toy is thrown with a spin like a discus. When flown to the full extent of the tether line, a pull on the line changes the direction of flight and the toy will return to the player. To keep the toy flying and spinning, the transverse bar is provided with a propeller like shape with sloping surfaces to provide lift, and the leading and trailing edges of the transverse bar are provided with low and high resistance faces to enhance spinning when pulled. Embodiments are shown having either the lifting elements or the unidirectional resistance elements alone. The spinning toy may also be provided in the shape of an inverted saucer.
