Hand Pump Penguin Torch
This is great way of getting the kids of today used to using equipment that is not powered by mains electricity or even batteries, it is a torch which is powered by kinetic energy. All the child has to do is pump the penguin’s wings for a minute to produce enough charge for hours of use.
By getting the youngsters used to this type of power, gets away from all of those batteries and chargers, which use up so much in materials and eventually always end up in the landfill, which is wrong considering that they are highly toxic.
Priced at $8

That’s great light for kids. I can see that ending up in my kids stockings this season. Kids today are too dependent on batteries and electricity.
