Wooden Peg Top with String – Traditional Spinning Top Toy

Shipping calculated at checkout.


Spinning tops have fascinated both children and adults since antiquity, appearing in cultures around the world for centuries. In early America, tops were a popular everyday toy—and they remain a timeless favorite for hands-on play and skill building.

The peg top is the classic turnip-shaped spinning top, set in motion by wrapping and pulling a string. It spins smoothly on a rounded metal tip (spindle), rewarding practice with longer, more controlled spins.

Our wooden peg top with string is packaged in a poly bag with a history and instruction card.

Not for children under 3. Recommended for adults and children aged 8 years and above.
