Hydromozo
- Hydromozo is intended for children 5-8 years old.
- Children wind it up and watch as the belt turns. There are scoopers attached to the belt that scoop up colored water and bring it to the top. The scoopers release the water into a tube and kids can watch as it flows down.
- This toy teaches children about transfers of energy, from potential energy in the spring, to work lifting the water and potential and kinetic energy releasing it.
- This toy would have to be handled with some degree of care as it involves small plastic tubes that could break easily. The cost of this would be a little bit expensive to make as it involves many complicated parts.
- The toy has small parts that are attached to it and can be choking hazards for younger children.
