{"product_id":"wooden-balloon-powered-racing-car-toy","title":"Wooden Balloon-Powered Racing Car Toy","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis little wooden racing car toy runs on nothing more than a breath of air. Blow up its red balloon, set the car down on a flat surface and let go: as the air rushes out of the back, it sends the car racing forwards. The body is painted a soft sage green, with a number 3 on its sides and top, grille lines at the nose and an open cockpit. Four chunky black wooden wheels with white centres roll on metal axles. It measures 11.7cm long, 6.2cm wide and 3.2cm high, small enough to hold in one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a toy made for floor races along a hallway, across a kitchen floor or the length of a table, and the fun starts again every time the balloon is blown up. Lining up a start and seeing how far the car travels on one breath turns into a game of its own. When you would rather keep things simple, the balloon can be removed and the car pushed along by hand like any other wooden toy car, so it carries on being played with long after the balloon races are over. The vintage racing look, with its muted green paint and bold racing numbers, sits nicely on a shelf between games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is put together from a plywood and wood body, wooden wheels, metal axles and a balloon of natural rubber latex. At 0.05KG it is light, so it is easy to tuck into a bag or a drawer between races. Looking after it is simple: wipe the painted wood with a soft, slightly damp cloth when it needs it, let it dry naturally, and keep the balloon away from sharp edges and heat so it stays ready for the next run. With its old-fashioned racing looks and clever workings, it makes a cheerful gift for anyone who loves a traditional wooden toy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCar body: plywood \u0026amp; wood; wheels: wood; axles: metal; balloon: natural rubber latex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.05KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdult supervision required Children under 8 years can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons.
