This is an exciting new environmentally attuned product. Your child will be able to power a new line of toy vehicles with lights and sounds. Made from Sprigwood™, a child-safe, bio-composite material derived from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic, the Sprig Adventure Series harnesses the natural energy of push- and pump-action play to power lights and other electronics—all without batteries. The various characters are wearing LED-lit hats that plug into durable, attractively designed vehicles and engage preschoolers with audio that guides them through exciting adventures as they play. The rugged, kid-powered and totally green adventure vehicles are the first products from this new, environmentally responsible toy company created by award-winning industry veterans. The series is built around The Discover Rig™—a sturdy, battery-free vehicle with a removable push bar. The Discover Rig™ is powered by preschoolers’ natural kinetic energy. When a child rolls the toy forward, it triggers the generator that powers both the vehicle lights and plug-in characters, taking the child on a self-powered safari of the imagination. Standing nearly a foot high and wide without the push bar, the Discover Rig is the perfect size for indoor or outdoor adventures. Adventure Guide Cap Faraday is included and spins a Secret Safari tale from the driver’s seat. In keeping with the dedication to produce green toys, no decorative paint is used and packaging is minimal and earth-friendly, making Sprig’s products even more attractive to the growing number of informed consumers who demand higher standards. The kid-powered electronics also remove the need for batteries, so Sprig does not contribute to the glut of used batteries that, in just a year, totals enough to reach the moon. The Sprig Adventure Series is manufactured in Canada. Hooray for our Northern neighbors!
