Spinning top made from Nana's wooden bits

All I could think of for a three-year-old's birthday present was a spinning top.

And I made it from Nana's wooden bits – the disc from a tree we pulled out of the front garden, the spindle from a branch of the hedge we just trimmed in the back garden, and the handle made from red cedar venetian blinds we took down recently.

There was a bit of learning in this for me too – physics and stuff.

And, Zoe got some (short-term) entertainment out of it.
