SPROLLER 3000's
Flip 'em down and spin 'em round!
Toy Description:
- Sproller 3000's are a hybrid of the popular Heely shoes and spring shoes. Kids can simply flip the wheels down from their locked position if they want to use the roller skakes, or leave them in the locked position and bounce around.
- Kids are attracted to Sprollers because they are two great toys in one!
- Sprollers are made for children ages eight and up, as there are large saftety concerns with this shoe. Age eight seems to be the proper age where kids can have fun with this shoe, and be relatively responsible.
- With this toy kids can learn about momentum, springs, friction, and gravity!
- Safety is definitley the biggest issue with this toy. Recommended use would be with kneepads and a helmet. The construction cost would be relatively small, as there arent really any very exotic, expensive aspects to this. Depending on the material used and the placement of the springs, the durability could be a strong point.
