Cognitive and developing: Develops spatial thinking and fine motor skills. Captures the imagination of children for a long time.

Eco-friendly: is made of high-quality wood, has a fragrant scent of wood, and is pleasant to the touch.

Assembles easily: all component parts are already cut off and can be easily removed from the board. The model assembles like a puzzle without glue and special tools by following an illustrated color manual. While children are collecting some blocks, the adults can suggest their help: the joining parts are cut off precisely for the slots, and for the assembly, you only need to insert the component pins, pressing them with your fingers. But if the fingers are too small, they may need some help. :)

The Clock counts down in minutes and hours and is an easy-to-understand introduction of the working principle of a mechanical watch. On the back of the Merry Ladybird (Sun), instead of its seven dark spots, there are two large and two small gears of the clock mechanism, which set in motion the minute and hour hands as well as all four wings of the Sun. The model has an open mechanism, two interdependent hands: after the minute hand passes a full circle, the hour hand rotates by itself by one hour. Ladybug (or as we used to call it Sunny) keeps the dial on the stand. When you turn the minute hand, all four wings begin to tremble, as if Sunny wants to fly.

In the 16th century “carousel” / “Merry-go-round” was originally the name of an event for the nobility, which replaced joisting and included a "horse ballet" and costume riders and horses. In the 18th century French engineers have evolved the idea of a mechanical carousel with a rotating circular platform, with wooden horses mounted on it.  In those days, visitors sat on the horses trying to rip off the rings from the poles or had to hit the targets in a circle. In course of time, a merry-go-round purchased acquaintances to us lines and associated with childhood and family leisure. The figures of horse, bear, and elephant are set on the rotating round platform in the 3D coloring model «Merry-go-round». You can roll your favorite toy or twist a carousel in your hands and find out how it is arranged and how it works.  A merry-go-around is rotated around the vertical axis and evidently shows the principle of work of the roller bearing.
