Playing with the sun - intelligent building sets from Inpro Solar

Translation: machine translated

Inpro Solar toys are a fun way for children to learn how to use natural resources and renewable energy. Here are three construction sets that use the sun as a source of energy. They're great fun for those sunny spring days.

Solar robot

The Roll-e robot is a king of transformation: 14 different models, divided into two levels of difficulty and consisting of 200 parts. The photovoltaic cell is always on the model's head and delivers the energy needed to move the animal or vehicle built. There's no need for batteries, as the sun powers the robot. This is a fun way for children aged 10 and over to learn about renewable energy. What's more, their motor skills and technical understanding are encouraged.

Solar recycler

The world's first recycling toy! The set can be built in six different ways. What's special: you don't just build the robot with the parts supplied, but also use common recycling materials. So you can create a Formula 1 with CD wheels, a steamroller with cans and a robot that drums on a PET bottle. Each model moves or rolls exclusively on solar energy. The photovoltaic cell and electric motor power the robot. What's more, all the parts are made from recycled plastic. The construction set is suitable for children aged 10 and over.

The solar racing car

The kit consists mainly of a stable metal housing, a photovoltaic cell and a drive mechanism. The model is easy to assemble and is designed for children aged 8 and over. When the photovoltaic cell is illuminated by the sun, the little racer moves forward. But be careful, it can only go straight ahead and becomes very fast when the sun is shining. When the photovoltaic cell is in the shade, the racing car stops. The solar energy is not stored.

Thanks to him, the children learn some simple rules: the brighter the sun, the more energy the photovoltaic cell produces, the faster the vehicle goes. No sun means no energy, and therefore a standstill. Thanks to the large photovoltaic cell, this solar-powered racer works even when the sun isn't shining very brightly and when the sky is overcast.

I love the strategy game “The Settlers of Catan”, the Ravensburger puzzle “Colourful Cupcakes” and the pink fluffy unicorn that sits on my desk (a birthday present from my workmates). Not only do I have a weakness for toys, I also get excited about good food and comedy TV shows.
