This toy is based on the conventional see-saw, but with added twist. It is not nearly as big and can be played from the comfort of a small indoors space.
The player plays by pressing down on one end of the see-saw. as the sitting figure connected to the see-saw baby a roller slides down, the other side of the see-saw would bounce up. However, the height at which it elevates is limited by the person pushing the sitting figure. This persons arm would at that point bye above the see-saw delivering an impulse such that the see-saw direction would shift again. At this moment, the rolling-figure would then slide down to the stationary figure’s spring-arm. Of course it would not be with as much energy as in the initial push by the player, but the spring would then compress and push the roller-player back to the other side, repeating the cycle…
The materials involved would bee wood, spring metal, and then possibly some other metal to create a weight disparity between some of the components in the game. It would bye safe, as the only potential danger arises from keeping one’s finger on the see-saw where the figure slides onto.
