A staple item in many preschools, this set can spark endless imaginative play as children build large, life-size structures.

Made from 50 percent recycled cardboard, the blocks have a smooth, water-resistant coating that's easy to clean. These blocks won a Parents' Choice Classic Award and a Dr. Toy Classic Award. One word of caution: Make sure there's enough storage space to hold all 40 blocks once assembled. --Lauren Bernard, mother and elementary school teacher Award-winning ImagiBRICKS Giant Building Blocks are an enduring classic that offer endless play possibilities because they are versatile (build with them, jump over them, crash into them) and safe. Constructed of lightweight corrugated cardboard, if the blocks tumble, no one gets hurt!

Give it to the next player to build that card's castle. Then, use the bird launcher to shoot it down with the birds indicated on the Mission card.

ThinkFun Brick by Brick

ThinkFun Brick by Brick Review

ThinkFun Brick by Brick Feature

• Challenges players to build a symmetrical brick wall
• Sixty mind challenge cards with hints and solutions
• Five brick pieces
• Game-go storage bag
• For ages 8 years and above

This engrossing puzzle contains five pieces that look like red bricks attached in different configurations. The object is to arrange the pieces to form cut-out wall sections of different shapes (pyramid-like, V-shaped, and so on). Athough the accompanying cards that display different designs is highly entertaining, feel free to experiment. By the time you've made your way through the stack, it's unlikely you'll memorize most of the solutions, so there's plenty of mileage in this activity. --Tom Keogh Five simple pieces, 60 puzzle challenges! This classic from Binary Arts has been a best-seller for a decade, and is still going strong. Now with storage bag added in response to requests from parents and teachers.
