Build Solar Powered Cars, Bikes and More
While most model cars or bikes require batteries to run, this kit offers a renewable energy alternative: solar power! Make your car environmentally friendly, thanks to the included 2 x 4 inch solar panel. Attach the panel to the car’s roof and then watch as it drives away! All it takes to get the model oil derrick pumping or the wheels of a bicycle moving is a little sun or electric light.
Choose from Five Solar-Powered Models
The kit includes instructions and materials to build any one of five models, including a helicopter, car, bike, windmill, or oil derrick. Of the five available models, the helicopter is most exciting, but first-time builders may want to practice with something simpler like the bicycle or windmill. Kids can also try their hand at constructing the car or oil derrick.
Every model is composed of at least 100 different pieces, and the small size of the screws requires a pair of steady hands. Even adults may find themselves fumbling pieces and losing patience. But building is part of the fun, and the payoff is well worth it. Each model, if it is correctly assembled, will roll, spin, or pump as soon as it is placed in the light.
Easy-to-Follow Instructions
The key to success with any model-building kit is a good set of instructions. To make things easier, the kit includes an 8 x 11 inch instruction manual complete with large, full-color illustrations. Red arrows tell you where each piece goes, and the pieces themselves are pictured and clearly labeled in a key toward the back of the manual. Two screwdrivers, two wrenches (all included) and a single pair of nimble hands are all that is needed to complete the job.
With or without the help of an adult, assembly times can range from 90 minutes to an entire afternoon. Having built the models themselves, kids will appreciate the movement of each part and how it contributes to the whole. Best of all, they’ll come away with first-hand knowledge of the benefits of solar power.
