Getting the kids interested in the environment with eco-friendly toys is a great idea. The Solar-Powered Speed Boat Kit will keep the children occupied for a few days at least, as the toy helps children to learn about solar energy and motors. The kit includes all the parts needed to construct a boat that powers itself along water using two large paddles.
If there's no sunlight, or the kids want to play with the speed boat indoors, then you just chuck in 2xAA batteries. Then you can play with the boat in the bathtub.
The only thing to note is that you can't have batteries and the solar panel connected at the same time, otherwise you damage the solar panel. Although the kit is designed for children aged 8 or above, you might need to ensure they don't break the boat by using the batteries and solar panel at the same time.
The Solar-Powered Speed Boat Kit costs £9.99 from Maplin.
