{"product_id":"amishtoybox-com-wooden-bouncing-bird-toy-unfinished","title":"Unfinished Wooden Bouncing Bird Toy with Gravity Action","description":"\u003c!-- BA:PRODUCT-DETAILS:START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarry and Bethann Kauffman started \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vendors?q=AmishToyBox.com\"\u003eAmishToyBox.com\u003c\/a\u003e in 2010 as a side business. Based in Caldwell, Ohio, the family drew on relationships with Amish woodworkers they knew from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They wanted to bring well-made wooden toys and games into more homes and give families simple ways to play together. The business grew around durable workmanship and treating customers the way the family would want to be treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift the wooden bird to the top of the pole and flick its head gently. The bird rocks back and forth as it bobs down the pole, then comes to rest at the base. Gravity supplies the motion. The bird, upright pole and base arrive assembled, so you can see the mechanism work straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wooden bouncing bird has an unfinished pine body and a metal pole. The upright toy is about twelve inches high, making the bird’s short trip easy to see from the side. It works on a level table, with enough room around the pole for the bird to travel from top to bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the base on a flat surface. Move the bird up by hand and give its head a light flick to start a run. Watch from the side to see the change from a steady upright position to the bobbing motion. Repeat the run to see how the bird behaves when it starts at a different height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upright shape needs more shelf height than a small toy car, so allow room above the pole when putting it away. This is a simple tabletop activity for a player who can follow the maker’s age and use guidance. It also makes a short demonstration of how gravity can turn a small movement into a repeating action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/american-made-wooden-toys\"\u003ewooden toys\u003c\/a\u003e on BuyAmerican.
