Turn all the bottle caps and lids you collect over the summer into super fun spinning tops! Your kids will love collecting the parts from the recycling bin and creating their own game boards. This is a fun and easy craft– perfect for a summer afternoon. Let’s get started!
Note: This project is for children 3 because of small parts.
SPINNING TOPS
WHAT YOU NEED
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Use the reamer to make small holes in the middle of the caps. The straws and mosaic pieces have to fit tightly.
Spinning cap 1 structure: toothpick — lid — wooden bead
Spinning cap 2 structure: mosaic piece — cap — straw — wooden bead
Spinning cap 3 structure: mosaic piece — cap — lollipop stick — wooden bead
Note: The wooden beads are for stability. Some of the tops will spin fine without them.
Your spinning tops are now ready for action!
Board #1
WHAT YOU NEED
Instructions
Rules
Start in the middle. Twirling the stem with your fingers, try to get your top into the field with the highest points.
Board #2
Board #2 is made for a battle. Whoever reaches the other side first wins.
This one didn’t work the first time because spinning tops make spirals. My son found a way to play it: Begin in the start circle and then blow carefully in the direction you what the spinning top to go.
