If You Build Them, They Will Race
Inside every child, there are two wolves.
Wolf one: loves stacking them blocks.
Wolf two: just needs a little vroom-vroom to get through the day.
Okay, this is a weird way to set this up, but we think it makes sense. All kids have a bit of the engineering spirit in them. They want to make paper airplanes. They want to goof around with Play Dough. They want to build with Legos, whether that means following the instructions of a given set, or digging into the bin of assorted pieces and letting their imagination take the wheel.
And yet, even the most buttoned-up kid out there–even the one who builds Erector sets at age 5 and brings a pad of paper to take notes on a non-school trip to the local science center–is gonna want to just let loose once in a while. Go down a water slide! Play tag! Race little slot cars!
This toy? It combines the best of both worlds.
Like so many slot car racing tracks, it provides some good ol’ brainless fun for your kiddos. Put the track together, put the cars on, race, repeat. If you’re lucky, there’ll be some fun crashes and other drama.
And then, when that gets boring? Your kids can pull out their own Legos and build on the car base. Not only does this engage the part of their brain that loves to make stuff, it also introduces a fun competitive edge. Who can design the winning car?!
Don’t have kids? No problem! You can goof around with this thing yourself. Or, you could follow the lead of 516-Andrew over on Amazon:
Bought this to give the cat something to chase. But it’s fun just to run them.
Hey, everyone deserves a little fun, right?
So buy some slot cars!
