The walking man is a small toy designed to walk up walls after being thrown at a wall. A wind up motor would cause it to move after being stuck to the wall.
This toy is based on a toy I once owned as a child which I would throw on a wall or refrigerator (smoother surface) and would stick to that surface via sticky tack attached on it. This new toy is a combination of a similar concept mixed with a wind a toy that would allow the man to walk up in addition to just being stuck to a wall.
Children can develop motor skills though the tossing and launching the toy. Additionally they can explore how different surfaces affect the attraction of the man to the surface.
This toy would mostly be made with plastic and other adhesive materials that work best with most surfaces without leaving residues. The toy must be study to withstand the force of being thrown on walls.
