Spinning tops are among not only the most ancient toys—archaeologists have dug up examples dating from as long ago as 3,000 BC—but also the most universal, having been independently invented in cultures around the globe.

Multi-bowl versions are also available.

It promises a long life of service but is completely biodegradable once its day is done.
