Many parents spend Christmas Eve cursing toy manufacturers as they cram whoziwhatsits into whizigigs, trying to put together elaborate Lego castles or Hot Wheels race tracks.
But what every kid knows is that sometimes it’s more fun to take apart toys than to put them together.
That’s what a new exhibit at the Monthsire Museum of Science in Norwich does. It’s called: Toys, the Inside Story. They’ve taken apart familiar toys to show us how they work. The exhibit is organized around the different principles at work inside the toys themselves: pulleys, levers and linkages.
Exhibits Assistant, Sherlock Terry, recently gave Vermont Edition a tour of the exhibit.
