YOX Tops Spinning-Top Building Kit | 16 Links

YOX Toys is a family-run business in Saint Paul, Minnesota, led by founder Jeff Freeland Nelson and his wife, Alisa Blackwood. Its history begins with the original YOXO company’s 2012 launch; YOX is its later revival. Inspired by Jeff’s childhood inventing, the family encourages children to turn simple materials into their own creations.

Build a top, give it a spin, and change the design to see what happens next. YOX Tops is a focused construction activity for children who enjoy experimenting with moving creations. Its 16 links can be rearranged repeatedly, so play continues after the first successful spin. The included design card offers a starting point, while the child decides which shapes to combine and how to revise the result.

• 16 links for constructing and changing spinning tops.
• Design card with a QR link to building instructions.
• Links respond to blacklight, according to the maker; a blacklight is not listed as included.
• Hands-on activity designed for ages 4–10+, including older builders.

Choose a level, clear tabletop and assemble the first design from the card. After testing it, change one part of the build and compare how it moves. Ask the child to notice which arrangement stays upright, how the spin feels and what they would try next. This turns a simple repeatable action into a conversation about balance, observation and design.

• Contents: 16 YOX links and one spinning-top design card.
• Recommended audience in the supplier listing: ages 4–10+.
• Batteries: not required for mechanical building and spinning.
• SKU: YOXTOPS.

The connecting links are ABS plastic. YOX identifies Minnesota as their manufacturing location and Saint Paul as the place where its team assembles kits. That verifies link manufacturing and kit assembly; it does not independently document the origin of every accessory or packaging component.

The box and design card support the activity but are separate from the 16 building links. The supplier does not provide an exact allocation of Y, O and X shapes for this kit, so no shape-by-shape count is promised here.

Keep the links, cards and any tubes together after play, and check pieces for damage before reuse. Follow the care directions supplied with the kit. The published information reviewed does not establish a dishwasher, sanitizer or high-temperature cleaning method, so no such cleaning claim is made.

Keep paper cards and cardboard tubes dry. Store loose parts where they will not be stepped on or lost, and separate damaged household materials from the play area. When adding your own boxes or tubes, choose clean materials appropriate for the child’s age and remove staples or sharp edges before use.
