Educational and Interesting toys

We thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the unusual and interetsing education toys thta are available. Educational toys are of course not only for boys and many girls will love these kinds of toys too. There are some really good toys and kits available. We'll have a look at some of them in this post and then a few more next time.

The Science Museum supply some excellent educational type toys and they are available from a number of suppliers.

Virtually Indestructible R/C Plane MKII - Science Museum
This Radio-controlled plane has an easy to use motion-sensitive joystick and is well suited for learners. The revolutionary joystick controller makes controlling the plane simple and intuitive. Turn the joystick left or right and the planes direction changes. The plane has a shape-memory plastic construction so that the crashes and scrapes you have as you learn t fly dont end up with you wrecking the plane. These types of RC aeroplanes really teach kids about how planes fly - and there is many a Dad who loves flying them too!

Juggling Science with DVD- Science Museum

How about learning to juggle? Juggling is a wonderful skill to master and there is nothing quite like juggling to teach skills excellent hand eye co-ordination. When you first realise that you are juggling its an amazing sense of achievement. Theres a DVD supplied with this kit.

Magnum Power Telescope - Science Museum

One of the worlds most powerful home telescopes! This telescope has a maximum magnification of 675x and it shows distant objects in superb detail. Includes full size extendable tripod, 3 interchangeable lenses for optimum magnification, finder scope with crosshairs and barlow lens.

OK its not a helicopter but its brilliant

We like rc helicopters - which is why a lot of the posts here are about great rc helicopters. But some other rc models are just so darned brilliant that they are begging for a plug.

If you are interested in rc controlled models you might bestuck wondering whether to get an r/c car or an rc plane or maybe a boat.

I bet you didn't think you would be able to get all three in one package though did you?

The Hydro Fly is an all terrain remote controlled vehicle that runs along on water. Then you flick a switch and it lifts and flies awway. This rc all terrain vehicle has a massive 1000ft range!

The Hydro Fly has a durable, double-coated, high-impact wing structure that means it can survive tough impacts and ensures that you and your Hydro Fly can carry on undaunted.

A bundled tool kit mean that even if you do manage to cause critical damage to your Hydro Fly, you'll be able to effect simple repairs at the scene and have it back in the air in minutes. Its a boat and a plane - it's a Hydro Fly and completely unlike any other rc model you've ever tried. You will love this one and have hours of all terrain fun.
