Every Pakistani parent remembers the wooden lattu and the string that never wound up properly. This is the easy, glowing version for today's children: a chunky plastic spinning top with a T-shaped handle on top, stacked rings of LED lights in the middle and round coloured lenses around its base.

There is no string and no launcher to learn. Hold the top on the floor or a table, press down on the black button in the middle of the handle, and it spins. As it turns, the rings light up in blue, orange, green and red and the lenses round the base glow, so the whole top turns into a whirl of colour.

It is at its best in a room with the lights dimmed, on a smooth floor or a dining table, where the colours spin into circles and children try to keep it going as long as they can. It is also a simple way to calm a restless child before bed or keep a small guest busy at a family gathering.

The cells come already fitted inside the top, so it works straight out of the parcel with nothing extra to buy on the first day. There is no charging cable and no switch to remember.

Pick green, blue, yellow or red when you order; each top is sold on its own at Rs. 450, which makes it an easy add-on to a bigger order or a birthday return gift. We suggest it from 3 years, with an adult nearby for the youngest players.
