mini cable car 2-gondola kit
WK 1170
Regular price $40.00 Sale price $36.50 Save 9%The two cars are joined with a string. A wood block or a stone as weight in the upper car will cause it to travel downhill, at the same time pulling the lighter one uphill. Mini cable car kit includes materials for building 2 cars and a station for shuttle traffic.
Also comes with 2 pieces of 5 m long string. Cars are ~8 cm long x 3.8 cm wide.
Recommended for 9 years+.
Nest Notes: we do recommend following the maker's age recommendation, as the gluing of the cable cars takes patience and a little hand steadiness and skill. For cable car fun without gluing, and for younger children, we recommend the basket cable car kits. Please note that the basket cable car kits and the gondola cable cars kits use different rope (cable) configurations, and therefore do not mix and match.
Made in Germany.
swings carousel
WK 1650
Regular price $75.00The swings carousel offers space for six little dolls, which should hold on tight while driving. It can be turned with the small crank.
Delightful is a "remote control" to drive the carousel when paired with a 'water wheel', 'windmill' or an engine (sold separately).
Recommended for children 10 years and older to build on their own. Younger children, perhaps even of 6 and older will enjoy to play with it, and they may participate to build together with an older helper.
Assembled diameter 35 cm. Weight 350 grams.
Comes with 3 small dolls.

Regular price $75.00Sunlight drives the solar Sun Carousel.
A small solar cell supplies the power for a small motor. In the sun, in the light of a light bulb or a halogen spotlight, the Sun Carousel begins to turn. It drives until shadows fall on the solar cell. As soon as the Sun Carousel is back in the light, the next ride begins.

river wheel kit
WK 1060
Regular price $95.00The river wheel is the largest of the DIY assembly kits in the water play series that we offer. It is shown here in one photo powering the hammer mill (sold separately), and in another photo, it is working to pull in the trout paddle boat (also, sold separately). A beautiful and involved way in which to learn about the forces which provide power for so many processes in nature, and the basic driving force behind hydro power stations that support our human energy needs and activity.
Assembly for 10 yrs+.
