20+ Spinning Top Science Activities, top crafts, and spinning top toys for kids!

 

Previously we made our own CD spinning tops, and it was so exciting watching the kids explore how they worked and comment on all the observations and things they noticed! Because the spinning top activity really sparked their curiosity, I decided to create a list containing all kinds of DIY tops for kids and spinning tops you can purchase. I hope these provide all kinds of inspiration!
