Children's Push/Pull Toy

For this project I designed a wooden pull/push toy for a 3 year old child. The toy had to be "earth friendly" and be at least 70% wood. It also required a cam mechanism. I created a musical cam that sounds like frogs ribbiting when the toy is pulled. The model is constructed with white maple wood and styrene plastic that is spray painted.
