Here is a push toy for active children. It makes a good toy for quantity production in the home workshop. You can vary the dimensions slightly, if necessary, to utilize the scrap material on hand. Two outside pieces with the head and tail piece tacked between them, a wheel with a ¼ inch dowel for an axle and a 3/8 inch dowel 26 inches long for the handle complete the toy.
Paint in colors as desired being sure to use non-toxic enamels.
