	Eggdrop Vehicle Code: 1721 Price: $5.99 Quantity in Basket: none
Eggdrop Vehicle (Kit) Get out the drop cloth! This vehicle is really popular with all ages. It is not a powered vehicle because the objective is to figure out how to cushion an egg for a series of falls from various heights. Here's the problem...you don't get 9,000 lbs of styrofoam to cushion the egg like most eggdrop contests...you only get to use what's in the bag! The kit contains sticks, rubber bands, wheels, axles, styrofoam, packing stuff and lots of hardware. For ages 10 and up.

Great activity for kids 12 and older.
