Today, HillTops is supported by a passionate team of toymakers, including Leticia and Rhiannon, who share a belief in the importance of play and its power to encourage curiosity, creativity, and learning. Their innovative creations have been recognized with awards at art shows and exhibitions.

Through their work, the HillTops team is dedicated to revitalizing and reimagining the art of play, inviting people of all ages to slow down, explore, and discover the simple joy of a spinning top.
