Ferris Wheel - DIY Kit

Short Product Description

Build a stunning rotating Ferris Wheel entirely from scratch! Kids assemble the wooden base, support pillars, rotating wheel, and seat cabins to create a working mechanical showpiece. This hands-on project introduces rotational dynamics, structural balance, and the engineering behind amusement rides.

What’s Inside the Box

• Pre-cut basil-wood sheets (wheel, supports, cabins)

• PETG seat panels

• Wooden dowels, pegs & connector parts

• Rotation crank components

• Step-by-step illustrated instruction booklet

How It Works

Children construct a stable base and tall support frame.
A large wheel is mounted using a smooth central axle.
By rotating the hand crank, kids set the Ferris Wheel in motion, watching how evenly distributed cabins allow smooth rotation.
This helps them understand balance, symmetry, and rotational mechanics just like a real amusement park ride.

What Kids Learn

• Rotational dynamics & mechanical motion

• Balance, symmetry & structural stability

• Engineering design & fine-motor building skills

• Patience, sequencing, and model-making craftsmanship

Perfect For

Ages 8–14, young builders, amusement-ride lovers, classroom STEM projects, and display model fans.
