Inspiring Inventor Toys

Hape's Junior Inventor Toys Encourage Kids to Make Experiments & Errors

Hape launched a new set of Junior Inventor toys for kids between the ages of three and 15 that gives kids the opportunity to learn the basics of physics and how they are applied to the real world. With the toy sets, kids are encouraged to experiment on their own and make errors.

A range of Junior Inventor kids are offered for all budgets, including the Discovery Scientific Workbench, which contains over 10 experiments, and the Three Experiment Kit that includes a mechanical grabber, a crane and a climbing frog. There are a total of six activities in the Science Experiment Toolbox, which also doubles as a storage solution for tucking away the toys when they are not in use.
