Automoblox 2008 S9R Sedan

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets- Blocks and Models
from: Automoblox Company


This is one in a series of cars that are built by this company and all of them are fantastic. I use them in my work with children who give them a major workout. They are fun, well built, educational, and of interest to many age groups.

I love them.

Georello Kaleidogears

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets- Blocks and Models
from: Quercetti Toys


My 4 year old son loves, loves, loves this toy. In fact we just bought him a second set because he wanted MORE GEARS. It is colorful, sturdy, creative, easy to use, and very educational. My son loves interlocking the gears and figuring out which gear "locks it up" if they suddenly won't spin. My 1 year old loves watching the bright gears spin around too! I would recommend this to anyone. It also has several expansion sets, so you can keep adding on and increasing the complexity as your child gets older. Two BIG thumbs up from our family!

K'nex Super Value 325-pc Tub (Black)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets- Blocks and Models
from: K'NEX


I bought this to supplement my six year old son's larger set. He loves the various pieces that come with it that weren't in the larger set he bought first. This allows him to be even more creative in his designs.

I can't tell you how many hours he has spent playing with this. He usually will play with something for half and hour and come looking for something else. There have been times he has been up in his room creating for several hours. There are enough pieces in this bucket to create several projects at once or something HUGE using all the whole set.

I love the fact that everything fits right back into the tub. There is a much better chance of the set staying together that way. I just think it's a great set.

This set combined with other sets, provides my son with hours of creative fun. I have found that to be able to build a variety of structures, it takes a total of about 350 pieces. So this was an addition to 2 other different sets already purchased.

LEGO SpongeBob Build-A-Bob

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets- Blocks and Models
from: LEGO

June 12, 2006
This is a great set. Big! Lots of parts!
It looks like alot of people have problems with Spongebob's legs not staying on. Me, too. I'm thinking it's because once assembled, this set is just too big and heavy for the leg parts to hold.
Building is the main joy of this set. It takes a while, with so many Lego bricks.
If you want a Spongebob toy, you should probably buy something else. If you want an in-depth building experience, buy this!

Off- Road Truck

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets- Blocks and Models
from: LEGO

September 01, 2007
Excellent value for its price. Combine a dump truck and a crane in one. It's rather large. Bigger than the cherry picker by one scale and on par with the fire truck. However, the mobility of the crane is limited. The rear suspension at maximum travel scrapes the chassis. Take a while to put together, 4 hr for a seasoned Lego builder.
