DIY Paper Spinning Tops: A Colourful Activity for Summer
With a few paper circles, some colour, and a toothpick or matchstick, create a real spinning top that will amaze little ones. Children can decorate their top with markers, crayons, or paint, and watch with curiosity as the colours blend together when it spins.
Try it indoors, outdoors, or even give it as a gift to a friend for a summer party!
