Butterfly Launcher
Age Group: This toy is intended for use of ages 6 and up.
How does it work? The butterfly is placed on top of the base and by the pull of the string the butterfly is launched into the air and floats for a little while.
Physical Principle: The Physical Principle of this toy is understanding how the string pulls the gear to launch off the other gear, so movement and gravity when the toy will
Interaction: Children will interact with this toy by seeing the string pulling and winding something up so that it flies and understanding gravity when the toy falls back down to the ground.
Construction cost, durability, safety: The cost for this toy would be minimal, making the toy with cheap materials making the durability low. Probably would be under the category of "Dollar Store Toy". This toy would be pretty safe, no real sharp edges or small parts to be swallowed.
