What is a "mechanical toy"?
A mechanical toy is a toy that uses gears, springs, or other moving parts to function, often powered by winding a key, pressing a button, or using a lever. These toys do not rely on batteries but instead operate through simple mechanical energy. They can move, make sounds, or perform various actions, such as walking, spinning, or dancing. Mechanical toys have been popular for many years, with examples including wind-up cars, robots, and animals that move when wound up. They encourage curiosity and help children learn about cause and effect, while offering fun and interactive play.
