My niece figured out within minutes that a gentle tug makes her twirl slowly and a hard pull sends her flying, and she's been testing every speed in between. The spinning is smooth and quiet, so it doesn't drive me crazy while she plays.

Pulling the string harder to make her spin faster kept my daughter busy for a solid half hour, and she kept testing how gentle she could be before the top slowed down. It's a simple toy but the cause-and-effect part really works.

My 4-year-old figured out within minutes that pulling the string gently makes the ballerina spin slowly and a hard yank sends her flying. It's been great for teaching her cause and effect without me having to explain anything. Sturdy little thing too, she's dropped it plenty already.
