The International Consumer Electronics Show isn't all about the biggest, largest, thinnest or smallest gadgets only and this year’s edition proved this once again, as it also made room for cute and green devices, such as the 6-in-1 Solar Building Kit by OWIKits.

This kit is a must for educating the young generation, as well as the adults who are ignorant about the powers of solar energy. An array of solar-powered toys, like an airboat, a car, a walking puppy, a windmill or two different planes can be shaped out of the 21 parts of this kit.

 

Using children’s toys to educate our young ones about the benefits of green and alternative energy is the direction that today's educational systems should go to, and what better way to teach your children than by putting renewable technologies at their fingertips?

 

Each OWIKits Solar Building kit comes complete with a solar panel, a small motor, and an assortment of snap-together parts that combine to create various tech toys. Craig Morioka, President of OwiKit, said about the products that “Our kits are designed to involve, engage and educate. Being able to say ‘I built this myself’ gives kids a great sense of accomplishment.”

 

With a white and green finish, the toys have a very futuristic aspect that would appeal to children of various ages and even adults. And the best part is that they are available with a very affordable price tag, ranging from 15 to 20 US dollars. This way, no matter a family's income, all kids can benefit from the OWIKits Solar Building kit, to play and learn, at the same time, about the responsibilities that we all have towards the environment. The eco toys are available directly on the manufacturer's website.
