Pulley Peg Board
- Children will use the pulley peg board by sticking the rods attached to pulley pieces into the peg holes of their choice. The goal is to create systems of pulleys of varying configurations. New patterns of pulleys can continuously be made and children are encouraged to be creative. The kit will come with at least ten pulleys, and they will range in size. The pulleys will be constructed with shiny mirrors and bright geometric patterns so that they catch the eye and are fun to rotate.
- This toy will teach children about using pulleys.
- The toy should cost consumers about $13.
- The strings in this toy make it slightly unsafe for younger children. Depending on the final size of several parts there might be some choking hazard in involved. Therefore, the target consumers will be at least 5 years of age. The durability of the product will depend on the amount of money invested in the quality of the materials and parts. The pulley peg board could be characterized as anywhere from very cheap and breakable to very durable and long-lasting.
