BERG Toys make kids into engineers
Outdoor specialist lets sporty young racers build their own machines
With its MOOV construction system, BERG Toys is now marketing an outstanding innovation in the field of toy vehicles which stimulates the creativity and dexterity of budding young engineers in a very special way. Children from the age of five can use timber pieces, specially shaped plastic rings, steel parts and pneumatic tyres to build four different vehicles: go-kart, scooter, recumbent bike or trike. And all that is possible using just the hands, and no tools. So the specialists in outdoor toys are now offering an extraordinary plaything, with unlimited variations. The real showstopper: if a youngster no longer wants to play on his machine, he can simply build another.
In developing MOOV the designers at BERG Toys recall the good old self-built “soap boxes” of the Fifties, which these days are rarely if ever seen in our neighbourhoods. With the return of these vehicles, BERG Toys are not only resurrecting the childhood legend but also heralding a new era of play. Because true to the maxim of “Make it – Move it” children face a new challenge: before they can race all over the place in one of the four racers, they have to build it. So in this playful way they learn manual skills and in so doing they create a drivable “set of wheels” which will astonish friends and relatives alike, and on which they can travel about in safety. Illustrated instructions contained in the box give children an immediate idea of which parts to use to build the machine they want, and show them step by step how to combine the various elements to create the whole.
These TÜV and GS-certified MOOV construction systems from BERG Toys will be in toy shops and BERG specialist dealers from March 2008. More detailed information on MOOV and other outdoor toys can be found at www.makeitmoveit.com or www.bergtoys.com.
