Building toys have long been a favorite for children everywhere. Some of my favorite toys as a child were building toys. Of course, the building toys I had as a child were the of the low-tech variety. My dad was once given a huge truck full of plastic milk crates. My brothers and I built huge playhouses out of the milk crates in the backyard. Oh what fun! We also had the traditional wooden cubes with numbers and letters on them. We had the variety blocks too which included squares, rectangles, and circles cut out of wood. We had a blast with them - especially the part where you knock them all over.
Of course, our kids love these basics (although we've yet to be blessed with a truckload of milk crates). We have found some super-fun building toys that are a lot more creative too. One of our favorites are Zoobs. These building toys are so much fun because they connect in multiple ways and allow for movement similar to joints. I also discovered Zoob mobiles which include wheels and tires. We haven't quite graduated to the more advanced sets which include motors or robotics, but plan to add those next year when we study electricity and machines. Zoobs are a fun, imaginative, and creative building toy for all age groups (3+).
My oldest, Joshua, loves to build Zoob cars and motorcycles.
Joy prefers to make tiaras and jewelry with Zoobs.
