Tegu

Tegu -- construction & building toys

They’re wooden blocks. With magnets. That’s it … almost. Tegu building toy kits promote every developmental stage, from classic free assortments to horses, stunt choppers, Evel Knievel roadsters, robots, customizable companions called Blockheads, and on-the-go pouches. And they’re do-gooders — their wood is hand-picked by Honduran cooperatives and they plant 983 new trees for every one they take. Do you do all that, alphabet blocks? No, you do not.

Atoms

Atoms -- construction & building toys

Atoms are smart building block sets consisting of regular old bricks and sensor, power, logic, and action blocks that make those bricks way less boring. Once assembled, your kid can control block bots like the Magic Wand or Popper Prankster with a simple app — no programming expertise required — or modify them. There are holes for screws and suction cups, and options to add hooks and loops and yes, Legos.

Infento

Infento -- construction & building toys

A Lego bike is cool, but a Lego bike you can ride is even cooler. That’s the power Infento enables your kid to lord over their friends as they pedal out-of-the-box bigwheels like suckers. While their parents dump and buy a new plastic ride every 6 months, you and your kid simply rebuild Infento, from wagon to trike to scooter to go-kart — with optional add-ons for snow. As for a drivable, block-built Millennium Falcon … dad’s got to have dreams.

Areaware Blockitechture -- construction & building toys

Areaware’s Blockitecture bricks are hexagonal, and nest and stack to form towers, homes, and cities. These RIT Metaproject design competition winners are a minimalist’s dream — nothing but white, natural birch tones, and a touch of green for trees. They’re the perfect blocks for your budding aesthete, who will definitely be the only kid in preschool who knows how to say “Cantilever.”

Build & Imagine

Build & Imagine -- construction & building toys

These build-your-own-dollhouses combine characters and sets that allow kids to build their own 3D storybooks by combining illustrated scenes. Dolls, panels, and accessories are infinitely interchangeable, which beats the hell out of an actual storybook, which is singularly colorable.

Remote Control Machines

Remote Control Machines -- construction & building toys

If you’re tired of everyone trying to turn your kid into a programmer, or your kid is tired of you trying to, give ’em a Remote Control Machines DLX set and get out of their way. Kids can build 20 different motorized machines, all of which teach real-life engineering — pneumatics, hydraulics, gyroscopes, and more — and are controlled by a good old-fashioned remote. No parents, smartphone, or computer science degree required.
