Want to give your customers something that will get their kids off video games and on to more creative and constructive hands-on play?
Mechanical Marvels are wood kits, commonly referred to as Timberkits, for making fabulously fun little wooden models with moving parts. Sold by
MK and Company, these kits are a great way for kids and parents to beat boredom, without resorting to the television or computer.
MK and Company has been providing consumers with baby gifts and children’s music boxes for 12 years. In 2006, Brian Ledig, husband of the founder of MK and Company, went to a gift show in Hong Kong looking for inspiration. Brian was enthralled with the display of Eric Williamson. Eric was exhibiting Timberkits, movable wooden models, for the first time. When Brian asked Eric where he could purchase them in the United States, he was told “You can’t!” A deal was forged, and now MK and Company sells Timberkits, renamed Mechanical Marvels for U.S. distribution, to gift shops, toy stores, museums and catalogs throughout the United States.
Mechanical Marvels are wooden kits for children ages 9 and up. One must see these amazing wooden toys to appreciate the work that goes into creating them. The models are made from natural wood, so that kids not only put them together and learn beginning mechanics, but they also paint and decorate their models however they want.
Mechanical Marvels can easily be incorporated into a school curriculum. School-aged children love hands-on activities, and through the use of cams, levers, cranks and push rods, they will enjoy learning what makes these machines work.
