Solar powered radio
Okay kiddo, do you like listening to the radio? How about playing with toys that need batteries to work? Well, a solar powered radio is like a toy that works with the sun instead of batteries.
You know how we need the sun for light and warmth? Well, solar power uses the power of the sun to turn into electricity. The sun plays with the solar panels on the radio and makes electricity go into the radio. This electricity can then play music and news for you to listen to.
The fun part is that you don't have to pay for electricity or use batteries to make it work. You just need to put the radio in a sunny spot and it will work! Isn't that cool? Now you can listen to the radio while playing outside and not worry about the batteries running out.
