Merry mechanical Christmas!

The ornaments in this box don’t just hang around — they bounce, dance, spin, flop, and even throw snowballs! All thanks to some cool mechanical parts that transfer energy and make things move.

The gingerbread man is built with interlocking gear teeth. If you move his arms, his legs dance too! Gear teeth are also found in music boxes.
