Best Spinning Tops of 2026

"I was really pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of these dreidels. The wood is dense and the etching is clear, which makes them very easy to use. I liked the price for the quantity I received—definitely a good value for parties or group activities."

"Although they are a bit smaller than I expected, the dreidels spin smoothly and feel well-made. The visibility of the symbols is great, and the overall durability is impressive for the price."

"Most of the dreidels were excellent quality, but a couple had handles that were a little off-center, making them favor one side. It's not a big deal, but something to keep in mind if you want a perfectly fair game."

"This has been my 2-year-old’s favorite toy—he’s always excited to play with it! I love that it provides plenty of stimulation and excellent fine motor practice. The sturdy materials, especially the high-quality wood and plastic, really stand out. The only minor issue is that the red tool sometimes needs to be held at the bottom for my son, but overall it’s fantastic."

"On Christmas morning, this was the clear winner among my son’s gifts. The colors are vibrant, the materials feel super sturdy, and it’s ready to play with right out of the box. My child has a blast watching the tops spin at different speeds and matching the colors. Plus, it’s a very affordable and interactive toy."

"I think this is a fun and unique toy—the concept is clever and the Melissa & Doug quality really shows. My kids enjoyed it for a couple of days, but I did notice that only the red top spins well, while the other two don’t spin as much. It’s still a nice addition, just wish the spinning lasted longer."

"I was impressed by the excellent quality and value of these dreidels, especially since they even came with clear instructions and a game book. Sharing them with my son's class was a hit—everyone had a great time learning and playing together!"

"The dreidels are large and sturdy, which I really liked. The bright colors made them stand out as table decorations. Although we struggled a bit with spinning them—probably because we were new to it—they still looked and felt well-made."

"My granddaughter enjoys these large dreidels, and they’re easy for her to handle at four years old. It’s great to see her having fun and playing independently with them."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful craftsmanship when I received these. They're so much nicer than the old, worn set I first played with. My diverse group of friends and I love how easily they fit in our hands, and we plan to spend hours playing together!"

"I bought these to send as gifts so my friends and I could play together even while apart. I appreciated the different color sets and the wooden feel over plastic. While the stamped words are a bit quirky, it just makes them feel more handmade and unique to me. With a little practice, they're fun to spin!"

"These spinning tops have brought so much joy to my family. We started a monthly game night because of them, and it's become a new tradition for us. They've really brought everyone together and created wonderful memories."

"As a parent, I’m thrilled with how vibrant and attractive these spinner toys are, immediately grabbing my baby’s attention. The suction cups stick well to highchairs, tables, and other smooth surfaces, so the toys stay put even with lots of wiggling. I really value that they’re BPA-free and have no small parts, giving peace of mind while my baby plays. I love seeing how the spinning action keeps my little one engaged and helps with hand-eye coordination. They’re also easy to clean and haven’t shown any signs of wear. Highly recommend them for both fun and development!"

"I bought these for my son when he was just 3 months old, and we’re still using them half a year later. They spin effortlessly and the suction is strong but simple to remove, making them perfect for the stroller, high chair, or even the bathtub—my son’s favorite spot to play with them! They’re also super portable, so I can easily toss them in the diaper bag. Great for keeping babies entertained wherever we go."

"We travel a lot as a family, so I was hoping these toys would keep my 9-month-old occupied on flights—and they absolutely did! The quality exceeded my expectations, and they’re tough enough to withstand rough play. I love how compact they are, fitting easily in my purse without adding weight. The three-pack means I can switch them up to keep things interesting. If you’re on the fence, I’d say definitely give these a try!"

"I loved that these dreidels are the perfect size and spin much better than the larger ones I previously bought. The quality is impressive, and they really added to our holiday fun."

"The brightly painted symbols and cute wooden look made these dreidels stand out. As a first-timer, I appreciated that the instructions were right on the package. Can't wait to play and hopefully win some gelt!"

"We got these for our grandson, and at just four years old, he quickly learned to spin two at once. It was such a joy to see him play, and it brought back wonderful memories for our family. The set, along with some chocolate gelt, really made our holiday special!"

"I gave these dreidels as gifts to my grandchildren, and they were delighted by the bright colors and sturdy wooden material. Each child loved picking their favorite color, and the set was affordable and arrived quickly. It made our multicultural holiday tradition even more special."

"As a family new to Hanukkah, we found the included directions helpful and enjoyed learning the dreidel game together. The product made our first experience with Hanukkah games fun and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend it for other beginners."

"I specifically picked these for my toddler because the larger size makes them safer and reduces choking risk. While they're a bit tricky to spin for little hands, my child absolutely loves being able to participate in the holiday fun. For now, this is the best option for his age."

"I bought this as a gift for my baby granddaughter, and it brings back so many childhood memories. The toy arrived on time before Christmas and is just as delightful as I hoped. I’m sure my granddaughter will enjoy it just like her older brother does. Excellent service and care!"

"I was looking for a classic spinning top to replace our old favorite, and while this one is smaller than advertised, it works well and even has a low-frequency whistle when spinning. The packaging could be improved, but luckily ours arrived undamaged. I hope it becomes as popular with my family as the old one."

"This spinning top has a lovely design and bright colors, and it feels like a well-made, quality toy. However, it does require some coordination and adult assistance for young kids, and the spinning sound is quite loud. Overall, it's a beautiful addition for older children or for playing together."

"I gave this as a Christmas present for my six-year-old, and he absolutely loved it! His older sibling and their dad had a blast with these, though it was a bit tough for my three-year-old to use the launcher. These seem like they’ll hold up well over time."

"As a teacher, I found these to be a fantastic value for my students—they had so much fun with them at recess, and the price made it easy for me to treat the class. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone on a budget looking for some engaging classroom toys."

"My sons really liked the variety of colors and names these came with. We’ve had them for months and only one broke, so I’d say they’re pretty durable for the price. The different types of launchers also helped my youngest learn quickly and join in the fun."

"I was looking for something for my grandkids, and these dreidels turned out to be the perfect size for a 2 1/2-year-old and nearly 5-year-old. They're a bit smaller than I imagined, but very nice overall."

"After almost a year, I can say these dreidels were much nicer than the average kind. I gave them as a mini gift to my adult children, and they brought back wonderful childhood memories during our holiday gathering."

"I married into a Jewish family, and none of us really knew how to play dreidel. I got these for Hanukkah and, while they're not huge, the colorful decorations made them special. Despite some reviews about spinning, we hardly had any trouble. Using chocolate cashews as currency made for a memorable, fun evening—hoping to make this a yearly tradition!"
