Countless train toys with light-up features have been introduced for kids and adult collectors alike over the years but the Solar Power Circuit sets itself apart as a sustainable toy that is capable of collecting its own energy. The toy train set's engine has its own solar panel that generates electricity to power its lights, helping to entertain kids and simultaneously teach them about the importance of renewable energy. Additionally, the sustainable toy train is made with bioplastic produced from sugarcane, while the rest of the set features non-toxic paints and glues.
The eco-friendly train toy and circuit for kids ages three and up has the potential to be used with Hape’s expansive train set range for even more fun.
