Kids love building things! I’ve put together a list of our favorite things for all those Builders on your list!
Revell SnapTite Vehicles
When you think of building, you may not think of cars, but these SnapTite vehicles need put together! They’re easy enough for the younger builders or you can find more challenging kits for the older set.
Revell introduced a new generation of model kits with three new skill levels that redefine the modeling experience for kids 6-12. Among the highlights: snap-together, “build and play” kits for kids 6-8 (starting two years younger than traditional products) that can be assembled in 30 minutes. These require no glue, no paint, and no tools!
Revell has been a worldwide leader in scale plastic model kits since 1945. Today, Revell offers more than 7,000 different accurately detailed cars, trucks, ships, aircraft, spacecraft and more scale plastic model kits.
Magformers Magnetic Building Construction Set – 62 Piece Designer Set
This plastic magnet set includes 62 pieces total: 20 triangles, 22 squares, 14 isosceles triangles, 4 diamonds, 2 trapezoids. There’s just something magical about magnets for kids and being able to build so many awesome things only makes it even more fun!
The kids can design 2D patterns and pull them up into 3D towers, rockets, castles and large ‘magic balls’. The open nature of MAGFORMERS® shapes are great for small fingers to handle and the instant connectivity will let the fun last for hours
Qixels
We were first introduced to Qixels at Blogger Bash and fell in love immediately! Bring your favorite character or action figure heroes to life or create your own 8-bit designs with Qixels! They’re super cool cubes that fuse with just a blast of water to build pixel designs! There’s no mess, no fuss because they just need water!
Some of the refill sets available include: Glow in the Dark Zombies, Skeleton Army, and Deep Sea.
100 Piece Wood Block Set
Wooden Blocks is a toy that every generation can and will love! In this 100 piece set from Melissa & Doug, you’ll find a variety of shapes including rectangular prisms, cubes, cylinders, half circles, arches, and two different sizes of rectangular planks and triangles.
TinkerToy Wild Wheels Building Set
TinkerToys are a classic that has really come back for the next generation! The Wild Wheels Set contains 76 pieces to let the imagination go wild! The set includes an instruction sheet with a variety of ideas for all skill sets.
K’NEX Mighty Makers Home Designer Building Set
This is a perfect building set for the girly girl! She can build her house and then play in it, take it apart and do it all over again!
Ravensburger 3D The Earth Puzzleball
These puzzles look like quite a challenge to me, but one that a pro-builder can certainly enjoy! Set it up on the table for some true multi-generational fun!
Mega Bloks First Builders Big Building Bag
For your littlest builder, Mega Bloks are necessary! They can feel like the big kids, with all the safety of a big, chunky block. Don’t worry though, the big kids will gladly still get in on the Mega Blocks action! I really love that this set comes with a bag for storage!
Marbulous-Translucent Marble Run
Marble towers are one of those things that kids are drawn to! Actually, grown-ups love to get in on the action, too! How high can you build it, how fast can your marble go?
Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?
Everyone loves a goodnight story and this one is perfect for your Builders! You can pick it up in board book or hardcover format, so kids of all age can enjoy.
Meccano-Erector Super Construction Set, 25 Models
For your older builders, this erector set will keep them occupied for hours and hours! With over 640 real metal parts, builders can assemble 25 unique models!
