The power of rubber
Billions of pounds is spent every year trying to come up with new energy sources, but the answer has been with us all along. The humble rubber band is a source of easy, emissions-free, renewable energy that can be put to endless good uses.
Ernest the Bear Toys knows how to tap into this limitless reserve of power and has released the new Rubber Band Car, which requires nothing more complicated than a few backward pulls to wind up its rubber band engine. Let go and off it will zoom.
The Rubber Band Car comes in a retro-style box and is suitable for ages six and up. It is priced around £4.99.
Also new is this wooden Rubber Band Shooter, perfect for itchy trigger figures attached to kids of eight and up. You can load up multiple rubber bands (you get five packaged with the Shooter) and take down your opponents one by one with the quick-firing action.
Measuring 22cm long, the Rubber Band Shooter is also priced around £4.99.
