About this toy

Children in Iran call a spinning top farfareh, and similar tops have been played with in many parts of the world for a very long time. This top is turned from beech wood and painted with bright rings that blur into new colours when it spins. It can be spun in two ways. Younger children twist the short handle with their fingers. Older children wind the cotton string around the body and throw the top so that it spins on the floor, which takes practice but is very satisfying when it works. A spinning top is also a small physics lesson about balance and spin. The guide shows how to wind the string and throw.
