From the creators of the Rhino wind-up radio, the Verio wind-up MP3 player, and our favourite Penguin squeezy torch, the new POWERplus® Chameleon is a versatile solar toy set that is fun and educational for all the family.

Suitable for ages 10 + this versatile solar model kit provides a great way to learn about the power of the sun and solar energy and each model comes with 6 different transformation options to choose from:

  • Transformation 1: Solar Windmill
  • Transformation 2: Solar Plane
  • Transformation 3: Solar Airboat
  • Transformation 4: Solar Revolving Plane
  • Transformation 5: Solar Puppy
  • Transformation 6: Solar Car

Once you've created your masterpiece, all you need to do is expose it to sunlight and watch your model whizz into action.

The POWERplus® Chameleon also comes with a clear multi-language instruction manual with detailed pictures so you can easily build the 6 different models step by step, even if you have never built a model like this before.

We asked Dawn from the Microgeneration Team to test the Chameleon for us and here is what she thought:  "I chose to build the Solar Windmill with my Chameleon and I really enjoyed putting it all together.  The solar module and gear box bits were a little bit tricky, but then again I have never put a model like this together before. I would suggest that young children might want to seek adult supervision just to get them started on these two main parts, but once their done the rest is easy. The only downside I found was that I built mine in the winter so I had to test it under a halogen lamp to see if it worked. However, now the sun is brighter all I have to do is come into the office and there it is in the windowsill spinning away. And now that I can see that it works, I'm going to try re-building it into the Solar Puppy transformation next."
