Vintage Pecking Chicken Toy

thingiverse

This is my first attempt at designing something for this community that I would like to share. It's for all of us kids at heart that would like to nostalgic with vintage toys again as well as letting our children know how old toys are made and supposed to play about. This is my attempt at making a simple vintage pecking chicken toy. There are strings attached to the heads of the chickens and are weighed in at the other end by a weight (egg) The basic concept is to let the weight (egg) weigh below the toy and spin the weight round and let the heads of the chickens hit the center of the paddle exactly like pecking food from the ground. It's a simple design that can easily be printed, can easily be assembled, with no need for any adhesives, and very fun to make.
