13 Construction Toys for Kids

While there's certainly no shortage of playthings for kids that come pre-assembled, the popularity of construction toys never seems to dwindle. From LEGO-building sets to toys that inspire kids to become architects and engineers, these products for kids ensure both skill-building and fun.

Some of the most novel construction toys include SmartLab's Wrecking Ball toy, which takes an alternative approach to construction from a perspective of deconstruction, or the GoldieBlox and The Builder's Survival Kit, which is specifically designed to empower young girls.

With the rise in maker culture and a growing consumer desire to know how things work, toys like these are hard at play, fueling the young minds of the future with the know-how to put things together, as well as take them apart.
