From the delicate-looking scroll work, to the detailed little saddles for each horse, you'll never get tired of looking at this delightful little piece. But, not only is this carousel model nice to look at - it actually has an ultra cool, working, wind-up mechanism that is powered by rubber bands! With a quick turn of the key you'll get to watch your little horses rise and fall as they take a turn around the merry-go-round. The gears are visible, too, which are super fun to watch as they spin around and make the whole delightful contraption go. Best of all you get to build the entire thing from the bottom up!       This is the one of the coolest ways to learn about wind up mechanisms, gears and potential energy.
