Solar-Powered Building Sets

OwiKits 6-in-1 Toy Makes Clean Power Child's Play (CES 2009)

The adorable 6-in-1 OwiKits Solar Building Kit puts clean, renewable power in your child's hands--literally. The snap-together OwiKits Solar Building Kit lets your child create two planes, an airboat, a car, a puppy, and a windmill out of a solar panel, a motor and a number of assorted parts.

Craig Morioka, the president of OwiKits, notes the kits were made to "involve, engage and educate." I love Morioka's rationale behind the OwiKits Solar Building Kit, and hope the product does well in stores.
