THE AMAZING BALANCING PTERANODON
The Natural History Museum Amazing Balancing Pteranodon is one of our favourite toys. We have had a lot of fun with it and it has stood the test of time. It appears to defy gravity and magically balance on fingers, table edges, sticks, desks and more. It works by the Pteranodon being weighted in the front of the wings so that the centre of mass is below the beak, meaning that it will stay balanced on your finger or similar.
What We Like About It:
It is robust, educational, fun and reasonably priced. No batteries required. No complex packaging. A perfect stocking filler.
Available at: Amazon and the Natural History Museum Shop
Price: From £7
