Making your Christmas green nowadays can be tough. Kids are looking more toward new electronics, hip gadgets and state-of-the-art toys. This means an endless process of changing batteries and clogging up your surge protectors with power cords and rechargeable devices. And those previous “alternative” energy toys were just not as cool as there power-sucking counterparts.
Here at IzzitGreen, we have embraced our inner child and come up with our Top 3 Green Toys for Kids for this year’s holiday season:
What’s more fun than remote controlled cars? How about a wind-powered remote control car? Or a solar-powered one? Or even a hydrogen fuel cell car? Hammacher Schlemmer has a kit that includes all three. This one-of-a-kind gift idea is perfect for ages 5 and up who are looking for hours of extreme racing fun. The best part of the Renewable Energy Racers Set is its two-for-one gift potential. Remember the chemistry sets we all received and promptly sank the rest of our Christmas break into? Well now your aspiring engineering and future speed demon have found a common ground, along with a new weapon for the ongoing war against the family pet.
The Renewable Energy Racers Set has three futuristic looking cars that are powered using three different methods: Wind power, solar power and hydrogen fuel cell power. The set comes with a miniature windmill, solar panel and hydrogen cell for powering your eco-friendly racers. The solar panel and windmill can provide up to 20 minutes of racing from a 30-minute charge. The hydrogen cell can supply five minutes of power from a three-minute charge using the process of electrolysis. This means that only water is needed to power your eco-friendly racers.
