SmartLab has created this creative toy kit that encourages children to both create and destroy in an interactive and innovative way.
The 'Demolition Lab Wrecking Ball' is a miniature five-storey abandoned schoolhouse made up of a series of panels. The panels are stacked together with plastic feet that make it easy for children to put the project together themselves. An accompanying wrecking ball also easily snaps together and doesn't require any batteries or additional power to operate.
Once everything has been assembled, the telescoping wrecking ball arm can be adjusted to aim at specific points of the schoolhouse. Pulling back the handle sets the wrecking ball into place and then it's released to knock down the individual panels of the building. With this interactive approach designed by SmartLab, children are given the chance to improvise how they assemble or disassemble this fun and innovative toy set.
