Ages 5+
Create, spin and see what happens. This hands on art activity lets kids paint while their spinning top is in motion, transforming simple colours into swirling patterns and unexpected designs.
As the top spins, children can experiment with different colours, brush placement and combinations to discover how movement changes their artwork. Each paper disc becomes a new opportunity to try something different, making it a creative activity that blends art with a little hands on discovery.
