Make the holiday season green this year. Lower your carbon footprint this Christmas with solar power. Demand for solar power is growing rapidly and now children can learn about renewable energy in the most enjoyable way possible - by playing with it!
Focus on fun and on education this Christmas.
Inquisitive younger children will delight in power that seems to come from nowhere and they’ll have hours of fun with the simple wooden solar helicopter, finding out what makes the rotor go round. There’s a huge range of solar powered robots and models to make, from relatively simple ones that a 10 year old could make alone, to more difficult ones that need a dad’s help - Christmas fun for all the family.
Looking for an entertaining and educational Christmas present? Select Solar’s educational kits make great academic gifts and are designed to encourage children to adopt renewable energy principles from an early age.
Creative little girls will love the sunny beads that will allow them to make their own jewellery that changes colour in the sun.
Boys will love building and playing with the cars, planes and robots. Hours of fun on Christmas day and no fuel required. How about some wacky solar charged races on Boxing Day?
With a range of solar powered creatures, your little ones can have their own solar powered zoo! Lions, monkeys, spiders, frogs, birds, insects - none of which will be begging for scraps at the Christmas dinner table.
There’s lots of fun to be had with solar or dynamo powered toys, and there are some great ideas for teenage boys, who can be a real headache to buy for. If you want to get them something more interesting than the latest video game, and you’re looking for a present with an eco-friendly or (hidden!) educational message why not try a solar cap, dynamo copter, mini solar racer or water powered clock. They’ll probably also appreciate an iPower solar charger for their PSP and MP3 player, and a solar battery recharger for all their gadgets.
