Whee-Lo - A Classic

When I was a kid things were a lot simpler. We did not have endless TV entertainment or streaming video on the internet. Most of our toys were simpler as well. The bulk of them did not require batteries and to get the most of them you had to, gasp, actually use your imagination.


One of my favorites was the Whee-Lo. A simple contraption but hours of endless entertainment. The toy was also quite educational - it demonstrated scientific principles like kinetic energy, gravity and rotational energy. I think my folks liked it because it didn't make any noise.


If you've got a favorite let me know in the comments.
