Wooden Spinning Tops Coordination Board – Develop Bilateral Coordination Through Play | Eduletto
Turn spinning, movement and visual discovery into a hands-on learning experience with the Wooden Spinning Tops Coordination Board – an engaging educational resource designed to support bilateral coordination, fine motor skills, concentration and sensory exploration. Helps develop the three-finger (tripod) grasp needed for pencil control and early writing skills.
The set includes a wooden spinning base together with 12 colourful spinning tops in two different sizes:
- 9 large spinning tops
- 3 small spinning tops
The specially shaped base is designed so that children can spin two tops at the same time using both hands, encouraging coordinated movement on both sides of the body.
This makes the activity especially valuable for preschool learning, fine motor development, occupational-style activities and playful coordination practice.
Spin with both hands at the same time
The central learning feature of this set is the opportunity to use both hands simultaneously.
Children can place one spinning top on each side of the board and start them together.
This simple activity encourages:
- bilateral hand coordination;
- simultaneous movement;
- left-right awareness;
- hand control;
- timing;
- concentration;
- visual tracking.
Using both hands together can be more challenging than spinning one top at a time, turning the activity into an engaging coordination exercise.
12 colourful spinning tops to explore
The set includes 9 large and 3 small spinning tops, each with a colourful printed design.
Children can compare:
- different sizes;
- colours and patterns;
- spinning speed;
- movement;
- balance;
- visual effects created while spinning.
The variety of designs makes repeated play visually engaging and encourages children to observe how patterns change when the tops are in motion.
More than a spinning toy
The spinning tops can be used for many different guided and free-play activities.
Children can:
- spin one top at a time;
- spin two tops simultaneously;
- compare large and small tops;
- observe which top spins longest;
- compare spinning speeds;
- practise starting both tops at the same moment;
- identify colours and patterns;
- experiment with different hand movements;
- create simple turn-taking games.
Educators can easily adapt the activity for different ages and developmental goals.
Educational benefits

Useful across different learning areas
Fine Motor Development
Grasping, turning and releasing the spinning tops supports finger control and coordinated movement.
Bilateral Coordination
Using both hands at the same time encourages the two sides of the body to work together.
Sensory Learning
Children observe movement, colour, speed and changing visual patterns.
Logical Thinking
Compare which tops spin faster, longer or behave differently depending on size and movement.
Concentration & Attention
Starting and watching two spinning tops simultaneously requires focus and visual attention.
How to use
Place one spinning top on each side of the wooden base.
Encourage the child to use both hands at the same time to start the two tops spinning.
Begin with the larger tops and, as coordination improves, experiment with the smaller tops or different combinations.
The tops can also be used individually without the base for additional spinning, observation and comparison activities.
What is included
- 1 wooden spinning coordination board;
- 9 large spinning tops;
- 3 small spinning tops;
- 12 colourful spinning tops in total.
