New Toy: A Windmill Generator

I couldn't resist. I was in Toy Kingdom last night, shopping for a little birthday token for a little girl when I found, then debated with self for ten minutes in front of the shelves and eventually took home the little cutie on the left.

I remembered that I saw the same toy before in the office, brought by the father of the little birthday girl, but I didn't take much notice of it until I saw it on the shelves. There were two other Green Science toys on the shelf: a Dynamo Torch (a flashlight powered by hand) and a Soda Can Robobug (a moving robot made out of a soda can - can't remember if it's wind up or not). The instruction manual for the Windmill Generator also mentioned an Enviro Battery kit (which I so want) but it wasn't available in Toy Kingdom.




Here's the Windmill Generator, all set-up and working:


Isn't it fun?
