I can't help but think of the fidget spinner craze from a few years ago... humans (and perhaps other hominids before them...) have always made little trinkets for decoration and entertainment, with usage being individualized. Maybe some people wore them as jewelry while the kids made little dice-like games with them? Think of like a hackey-sack - one person squeezes it as a "stress toy" while another kicks it around with their friends as a game. Same basic thing, multiple uses, none of which really require documentation in history.
