Renewable Energy for Kids: Wind Power 2.0

Modern children are growing into a society with depleting resources. Increasingly we see the use of green energy, with solar panels and wind mills. This kit enables children to learn more about these resources in a fun way.
With Wind Power 2.0 you can build a wind powered generator, capable of recharging a AA battery. How does this work? The kit explains, but basically the wind will spin the turbine which turns an electric generator and in turn charges the rechargeable battery. Take the windmill apart and you can build a model vehicle and use the battery to power them.
These are great for learning, fun or science fairs and projects.


Dr. Gravity's has Wind Power 2.0 in stock, just in time for the holiday season.

Return of Furby's?

Furby was first released in 1998 and was extremely popular with kids at the time. Like many toys of the 90s though, they went out of popularity. Hasbro is determined to bring them back, so they've received a makeover! They now have LED eyes, new colors (white, black, orange, teal, purple, yellow) and there is an app (for iphone/ipad) to translate Furbish to English. They dance and talk, too! 

The general purpose of a Furby is to teach kids responsibility. The Furby is full of emotion and needs attention, much like a pet. Does your kid want a hamster? Try getting them a Furby to see if they're ready for a real pet.

Furby is being released to stores today, September 16. The price is set to be $54. 

Check out this video to get a glimpse of the updated Furby:

What are your thoughts on the new Furby? Would you buy one?
