The Top by Gonge

The Top is a favorite for children of all ages, providing hours and hours of physical fun!

Rock from side to side.
Spin it.
Build a den or fort.
Use it in the pool.

This is the original Top by Gonge Creative Learning Aps in Denmark. Only the original Top is shaped with a pointed center. This enables children to get the feeling of turning upside-down when moving the top 360 degrees around the center.

The Top can be used by one or two children at a time. It is made of strong plastic and can be used indoors or out.

The Top develops children's physical coordination while they play. It is very suitable for basic physical coordination training for disabled children, as well.

The edge of the top protects children's heads and hands from getting hurt. The raised edge prevents fingers from getting caught while your child spins and plays. At the same time, there is no risk of suffocation if children hide inside the top.

Product Details:

Our children have been playing with The Top for 8 years now, and they still play with it! It has been used with children as young as 3 and as old as 12. It has been played with individually and with multiple children. It has been used inside the house, in the backyard, and in the pool. After all these years of use, it is still in perfect condition. We love that The Top encourages children to use their imaginations, while providing them with a physical experience.

What other things can you do with this product?

We've included some of our "outside the box" creative ideas below to help get you started...

For more unique ideas, go to our Free Resources for Parents and Educators.

• Use the Top as a mountain for children to climb, or as a cave to hide in, even as part of a rocketship.
• Toss a few soft balls or pompoms in the Top along with your child for even more fun.
• Prop the Top up so it is resting on the point. Have your children experiment to see if they can roll a marble around the edge and have it continue to spin all the way down to the bottom of the cone. Try this experiment with a variety of balls — marbles, ping pong balls, bouncing balls, or even with coins.
