Fun with Craft: Making a Spinning Top

Let’s Make a Spinning Top!

Crafting is a great way to have fun and learn new things! Today, we will make a simple spinning top using things you can find at home. It’s easy and enjoyable!

Materials You Will Need:

• A bottle cap
• A wooden stick or toothpick
• Colored markers or paint
• Glue
• Scissors
• A small ball (like a marble or a ping pong ball)

Steps to Make Your Spinning Top:

1. First, take the bottle cap and decorate it using colored markers or paint. Make it bright and fun!
2. Next, take the wooden stick or toothpick and poke it through the center of the bottle cap. Make sure it fits snugly.
3. Now, add a small ball at the bottom of the stick (if using a toothpick, it will be the base). This will help your top spin smoothly.
4. Use glue to secure everything in place. Make sure there is no glue on the spinning part, so it spins freely!
5. Let the glue dry completely.
6. Your spinning top is ready! Hold it by the stick and give it a spin!

Safety Tip:

Always be careful while using scissors and glue. Ask an adult for help if you need it!

This spinning top is a fun way to learn about motion and gravity. Try to make different designs and see how fast you can make it spin!
