Welcome to the Design Room of Mr. Billet!
What is it?The poolside frog jumper also works on the principle of springs and projectiles. The concept is to
try to launch the frog onto rubber lily pads that are in a swimming pool. The frogs are also rubber so they will stick onto
the lily pads. The rubber frog is placed on the launcher by the child who then hits the back mushroom which projects the
frog toward the lily pads. This is excellent for a game or by yourself. It also engages the senses of sight, touch, sound,
and perhaps smell. It teaches the child about projectiles and motion.
How do you make it? The toy is much harder to make than the first. It has a couple complex shapes especially
the shell of the toy. It is made of plastic and stainless steel for the springs and perhaps the bolts.
Safety and Durability: The toy may break too quickly. There is a chance of the child totally abusing the
launcher by stepping on it or hitting it with a hammer. The toy is relatively safe unless they launch the frogs towards someone
but in general, the rubber frogs will be too big to get into the eye.
