These awesome technology, building, and design toys are fun and will increase your ability to make things:
- Roominate– You can design houses and wire them. They come with cute figures to live in the houses. You can personalize your own house plan and decorations.
- LittleBits– Build circuits with magnetic components to make pieces do cool things. I like that there are hundreds of possible combinations. You can make a different one each time. Combine with LEGO to make moving objects, like cars.
- Snap Circuits– Snap pieces together to make pieces spin, light up, and other cool things. I like that the pieces are marked with numbers to easily refer to. The downside is that they are hard to put in place.
- Spirograph– Make cool designs with stencils. There are so many possibilities. It now comes with spiro putty to keep the stencils in place.
- LEGO: You can make houses with amazing details or tons of different designs with these small bricks. They are easy to snap together, considering their small size. LEGO can also be a base for other maker projects, including electronics.
Thank you! This is such a helpful list for when I buy gifts. I did some research during the holidays and wish I had this list then. I’m going to send your link to my friends with children. They will love this too! Congratulations on launching this blog!!
