It is difficult to come across effective educational toys currently, and it’s sometimes more difficult to come across educational toys that aren’t connected to a computer monitor.

Another nice option is the Fisher Price Power Wheels.

A convenient way to analyze the weather, besides encountering it directly, is to use a Thames & Kosmos Weather Lab. This kit comes with experiments on rain, fog, rainbows and more. The teaching handbook is a useful resource all by itself, and doesn’t just discuss the concepts of weather; it explains to children the method of experimentation. The Weather lab comes with a weather vane for the children to put together, a rain gauge in addition to some wheel charts for hands-on reference. Given that these products only cost somewhere near $15, you’ll not be likely to discover a more detailed educational experience for your money.

You tend to find that it is the indoor radio controlled aeroplanes that don’t go very fast and this is for obvious reasons! “Watch my crystal vase!” you can hear it now can’t you! Generally speaking indoor r/c aeroplanes are mostly lightweight and this can make them very much slower than the outdoor models and it is probably a good job as outdoor models can travel up to speeds of 40-60 mph. As an estimate you can probably get between 2 and 15 mph out of an indoor plane which is still quite fast – so keep your mum/other half happy and move the Fine Bone China into another room!
