Carousel
A carousel, or merry-go-round, is a type of ride
often seen at amusement parks. It features a
revolving platform with seats on which users
can sit. The seats are shaped like horses and
they rise and fall as the platform rotates,
simulating horse riding. The first carousel,
powered by a steam engine, was made in
France circa 1860, and its popularity had
spread through Europe and to the United States
by the 1870s.
The horses on this papercraft carousel really
move up and down when you turn the base.
Have fun playing with it, or use it as a
decoration!
