一款經典美國錫製玩具，靈感來自真實存在的「受過教育」的黑猩猩。Consul是一隻在20世紀初獲得全球聲譽的表演猴子。他騎自行車，並用刀叉進食。這款色彩繽紛的錫製復刻品會算數學！
將1到12之間的任何兩個數字相乘，Consul將以100%的準確率計算出結果。這是一種有趣、類比的方式，幫助孩子學習乘法表。
更高階的數學思考者會欣賞巧妙的鉸鏈機制和底層幾何學，這些是Consul二元運算成功所必需的。在各個層面上都很有吸引力。
此外，誰不喜歡一隻戴著蝴蝶結的猴子呢？

My kids have been obsessed with the little monkey riding its bike since it arrived — it’s such a charming piece of history to have on the shelf. The tin body feels sturdy enough for play, but honestly, it’s the vintage story behind it that makes this a keeper for our homeschool lessons.
The tin construction feels wonderfully old-fashioned, and I love that the monkey actually rides a tiny bicycle like the real Consul did. It's a fun piece of history that sparks conversations every time someone spots it on the shelf.
My kids have been obsessed with the monkey riding his bicycle on the front, and the tin body has held up to plenty of drops. It's a neat piece of history that actually sparks questions about the real chimpanzee, which I didn't expect.
