Would have liked to know that this toy is almost indestructable so you need to be very careful where you let children play with it.
Max got impatient trying to set it up at 8 he is still all fingers and thumbs, however as soon as it was put together and he could spin the tops there was lots of laughter and more than a little bit of competition between him and his older brother Sam who is 15.
The great thing was that this toy managed to expand over the generations and age gaps so it was'nt long before everyone was on the floor waiting to have a go. Mind you those of us past the rolling on the floor stuff had to watch where we put our feet.
Great activity for the whole family just be careful where you locate it because some people don't know their own strength when spinning the top.
