Kids always seem to know how much fun can be had with a product packaging—sometimes a box is even more entertaining than the toy it contains—and a new line of construction toys for kids is acknowledging this. Design & Drill Bolt Buddies is a new product line from Educational Insights that introduces kids to the basics of construction and engineering, plus the packaging doubles as a playset that matches the theme of the toy.
In the product line, there's a rocket, a truck and a race car, each of which comes with a kid-safe drill. The boxes can be unfolded to create a 3D playset that helps to support a different story. For instance, the rocket toy is enhanced with a control panel, a launch center and a moon scene.
