A race is a competition of speed, which means that you can turn pretty much any activity into a race. Running, walking, skipping, eating; riding a bike, riding a horse, driving a car, driving a chariot; completing a puzzle, completing a spelling test, drinking a glass of water, eating hot dogs...

Your child will compete in many races over the years, and racing the WOW Toys Special Edition Sports Cars against each other is a fun place to start! These adorable friction-powered toy cars from Ravensburger are designed for small hands and big imaginations: their chunky bodies are easy for small hands to grip, and the pull-back engines are easy for kids to work. Each car has a removable driver, adding to the pretend-play value, and each car has a friendly face, inviting kids to invent a character for their car, and fun imaginary scenarios for racing. No batteries are required; just pull back the cars and watch them go! Suitable for ages 18 months and up.
