Children and adults alike have been fascinated by the whirling and spinning of tops. Although the top seems like such a simple little toy, it has been around for quite a long time. According to research, it seems that young women, as well as girls and boys, whipped tops in ancient Greece, and the vases that have survived time, and are now on display in various museums all over the world, often depict this activity: for instance, on an oil jar in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, two women are shown spiritedly spinning their tops. In modern times they are still enjoyed and are inspirations for songs, decorations, and games. Are you ready to make your own spinning tops?
