Toys should encourage imagination and creativity. A good toy is open for interpretation and inspire a child to explore new and different ways of using it. Lego and building blocks fulfil these criteria. Building blocks and Lego may not beep or blink, but they are among the best toys that you can buy. They encourages creativity and are versatile.
Bilibo is another great toy. The shell-shaped plastic toy looks deceptively simply but it arouses curiosity, while also playfully encourages children to explore balance. There are some new additions to the Bilibo family and Minis can be stacked and nested. These are great for exploring scientific principles. How can you stack things without them collapsing? How many ways can you throw and catch, flick and aim the Minis.
