A couple of years ago, my kids were begging for the latest popular toy: battling tops.  My husband I discussed purchasing the desired toy for Christmas, but we ultimately decided to go another route.  Fortunately, my kids gave up on asking and turned to a bit of ingenuity.  They created a Lego spinning battle top.  Now, several years later, they are still building Lego spinning battle tops and battling each other.<\/p>\n

My kids refer to the spinning top in the above picture as their “basic” model.  Here are the pieces used (except in place of the domed Lego pictured above use the 2×2 piece):<\/p>\n

First, place the orange piece on the bottom of the cylinder Lego.  Center the 4×4 flat piece on top of the cylinder.  Then, center the 6×6 flat piece on top of the assembled pieces.  Finally, center the 2×2 building block on top.<\/p>\n

Once it is assembled, grab the 2×2 piece on top and twist and release to get your Lego spinning block to go.<\/p>\n

Now, you can go get creative!  Here are some of the limitless possibilities:<\/p>\n

Now go have fun and battle your own Lego spinning tops!<\/p>\n
