Description
This metal spinning top is covered in the Wild Wonders design, a cheerful parade of animals in bright, friendly colours. Around its domed white crown you will find a turquoise elephant with a big orange ear, a lion with a round orange mane, a toucan, a parrot, a spotted yellow big cat, a striped zebra and fluttering butterflies, scattered among leaves and dots of pink, teal and yellow. The base is a clear sky blue, a turquoise collar sits at the centre, and a twisted spiral rod rises through it to a sunny yellow knob. It stands 13cm tall and measures 13cm across, a good size to hold steady while you press down on the handle.
Press firmly down on the handle and the top whirls into life, its animals blurring into a swirl of colour as it spins on a smooth floor or tabletop. It is a simple, hands-on toy that gets picked up again and again, and there is real pleasure in seeing how long you can keep it going before it wobbles to a stop. Between games it looks cheerful on a shelf or a windowsill, where the bright print lifts a bedroom or a family living room. We think it makes a thoughtful present for anyone who loves animals, colour and the charm of a traditional toy.
It is made from metal and plastic, with a smooth, glossy printed finish that keeps the colours crisp. As good general practice, wipe it with a soft damp cloth when it needs a freshen up, dry it straight away, and keep it out of water so the metal stays in good condition. After play, store it somewhere dry, upright on its base or tucked into a toy box. For gifting, it is ready to go straight from the wrapping: show the recipient how to press the knob, then stand back and watch the animals spin.
