Experience the fun of simple steam power with the cheerful pop-pop boat. This lively tin boat lets you watch a real little steam engine at work, making it a great way for children to explore basic physics in a hands-on way.

But the true charm is in the way it moves and pops along the water, and the playful feel of its tin body. It’s the kind of physical toy that brings smiles to everyone — from curious kids to grandparents who enjoy watching it buzz across the water.

You might have seen something like this in a famous Japanese anime — yes, that one!

How to drive the Pop-Pop Boat
Fill the jet pipe with water and set the boat on the water. Light the fuel and warm the tiny engine beneath. After a moment, the boat will start moving with its cheerful popping sound.
