With Labor Day weekend just a few short days away, you’ll want
something to keep the kids occupied…and cool. Enter the Water Powered Vehicles kit from
UncommonGoods: an educational contraption that’s sure to inspire budding inventors. —
Whether you’re having a big family reunion or a small get-together with neighbors,
make sure this kit is a part of your end-of-summer celebration. Your kids will be too
entertained to notice that they’re also learning the nuts and bolts of physics
and engineering. And as parents, you’ll be amazed at what your little geniuses
can create. Using pressurized water as an alternative fuel source, they can
build 13 different vehicles with the plastic pumps, tubes, gears and wheels provided. The
40-page handbook (illustrations included!) explains how to make
everything from cars and trucks to water-jet-powered planes. And consider buying more than one kit so kids can have a dragster race or combine
pieces for double the fun.
It’s no secret that I’m a huge UncommonGoods fan. When you’re stuck in a gift-buying rut, they always manage to have something unique and special for the person who has everything. Check out their Birthday Gift
Ideas for more great buys.
