WHAT'S NEW in V3
NEW: Pure Beech Wood Balls
Yes, more balls! The humble ball is probably one of the world's oldest toys and the Nüdel Kart needed some. These wooden balls are perfectly round and amazing for Rube Goldberg machines, passing, and bowling and a million other things. Balls across the world are the most commonly used object for childrens’ exploration, and we are so glad they are part of the Kart. |
NEW: T-Propellor And Tripod
In the plywood department, we now have 2 new pieces called the T-Propellor and Tripod. The T-Propeller creates a stable base on the ground for your constructions or works perfectly as a bull-bar on your 4WD or a handle for a trolley. The Tripod is a beautiful piece with an amazing optical illusion included. It is perfect for creating right angle joints to secure your builds, but also creates an incredible base for your pretend beach umbrella. |
NEW: Removable Swivel Castor Wheels
Until now, the only castor wheels were fixed on the base of the Kart but now you have additional swivel castor wheels, allowing even more vehicles, helicopters and other fantastical moving devices to be created out of any piece that has a hole. |
UPGRADED: Silicone Rings
Silicone rings were introduced into the V2 karts, massively improved in the Rover, and are now refined in the V3. With an even stronger grip, an upgraded and larger ‘pinch peg’ and tighter slots, these new rings can create billions of tighter, stronger configurations allowing children to take their imagination further. They are a small but mighty piece and have become one of the most used parts of the Kart. |
UPGRADED: Play Tubes And Connector Tubes
It might seem small, but all the food grade Silicone Tubes are now straight, allowing them to more easily pass through the plywood and other holes for smaller fingers. The Connector Tube has also taken a giant leap forward with a central connection hole and even tighter fit, allowing connections in between the sticks and long tubes we couldn’t have imagined before. |
UPGRADED: Tencel Webbing
All of the webbing used in the cart and Rover is now made from Tencel, an incredible natural product that is just as strong as plastic webbing but made from wood fibre. Our endless search to remove plastic and other crude oil based materials will only continue to advance into the future. |
|
UPGRADED: Baseplate
We have upgraded our baseplates to now include a handle on each side which offers assistance with pack-up and storage and playtime. A win win for supervisors and children |

"Our Nüdel Kart continues to be one of the highlights in our school day. The creative interactions are endless and unique every time we use it I can testify that I had the Nüdel Kart out for over 1.5hrs and there was not a single ‘squabble’. Every single child was totally engaged for the duration, they were collaborating , problem-solving, creating and innovating. My senior class are always just as engaged, the year six boys said they wished they could take the Nüdel Kart home. I look forward to to the many years of fun and adventure with our Kart. Thank you from one very grateful teacher!"
