Wandering the aisles of Toy Fair I noticed a booth that had toys that were part arts & crafts and part construction toy. The toy requires no scissors, tape nor glue. All of the pieces are on pre-perforated cardboard that can be colored using crayons, pains, markers whatever you’d like. Then the pieces are popped out and put together quickly and easily simply by following the instructions and inserting the numbered tabs into the same numbered slots. The Modello model that we built was the All Terrain Vehicle and here is our video of that process.
You probably have seen my posts about trying to teach Eva to ride a bike. That endeavor has met with frustration and tears, usually on both our parts. So when I saw the opportunity to review a PlasmaCar I was very excited. Here was a simple vehicle that Eva could use to scoot herself about just by using her hands on the steering wheel or when she wants to, by using her feet. When it arrived at our house I wanted to put it together right away. We had been getting many toys and prizes all at once and it was Eva’s birthday so there was a major glut of “things” and we spoiled her so much that she got a little lippy and lost the privilege of riding the PlasmaCar right away. We were both bummed out over that. But after a few days we were able to start playing with the PlasmaCar together and we’ve been having fun ever since.
I make a slight mistake in this video. The maximum weight for riders is 220lbs on Flat surfaces, not 230lbs.
