I don’t know what your living room looks like, but mine is literally covered in electronic gadgets and toys, (of course we ONLY use rechargeable batteries!) it’s like trying to navigate a minefield! Of course, no matter how many times I clean up- I never manage to avoid stepping directly on a sharp lone piece of Lego or plastic pint-sized Robot.
Truthfully, I long to introduce my kids to toys that require no batteries, just pure imagination—and of course lots of scientific power! Enter The Miss Behaving’ II Candle Powered Boat a reproduction power boat approximately 5″ in length constructed form metal with detailed painting. (which has already taken its place among the masses on my living room carpet!)
Not only is this the cutest little boat you ever saw but it happens to come in a collectible- mantel worthy box—I kid you not! Your kids will love watching it wade through the water powered by single white candles- no batteries necessary!
Here’s the breakdown: No assembly necessary (yeah!). Just blow a small amount of water through the boat as directed with the tiny straw, light one of the candles, place it in water and watch it go.
How it works: As above noted just light the candle and watch the fun.
Age: As long as an adult is lighting the candle and making sure no one touches the boat, which can get hot, this little putt-putt boat will delight any age.
Time required to complete: You can get it going in seconds.
Cost: A real steal at just $11.95
Best Features: Easy to set up and start. It really moves on its own with candlepower. The decorative box happens to make it a great gift!
Difficult Features: Just be careful not to touch the boat because the candle burning inside will make its surface hot to the touch.
