This basic cable car kit from German toy makers Kraul works like a miniature-sized gondola. The baskets are set up to go around and around between the two stations, which can be attached to tables, shelves, or posts with the enclosed clamps. Fill the baskets with treasures, dolls, flowers, or pebbles, and turn the cranks to transport the baskets from one station to the other. Can be set up horizontally or vertically, but will only go back and forth if vertical.
Kraul is a German-based family business that has been specializing in quality children’s toys since the 1920’s. Encouraging an early love and appreciation of nature, Kraul kits revolve around the basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water. Going beyond simply building and experimentation, Kraul opens a world of wonder and imaginative play. Over the years, Kraul has been run by family members that also hold job titles of Waldorf educator, meteorologist, and physicist, which makes it no wonder that their experiment kits and toys stand above the rest. All production and packaging takes place in Germany and the company employs people who are differently abled whenever possible.
