Tightrope Balancing Toy

• This toy is based on the principles of potential and kinetic energy.
• The child (ages 6 and up) would wind up the thread until the weight is all the way up, the toy is placed on a cable, and the energy released makes it travel forward.
• This toy would be relatively expensive, made from high end materials like aluminum and solid wood. It would be very durable.
