While building blocks are a good place to start, eventually they'll want to move up to building sets with more complexity, and pieces that move, perhaps even motorized sets. We'll show you some of our favorites with this little guide to different building and construction sets.
To begin with the obvious, LEGO construction sets include the popular Bionicle toys, Star Wars vehicles and settings, and a wide variety of other licenses, including Disney, SpongeBob, heroes like Batman and Spiderman, and hundreds of others. Also remember that LEGO building sets aren't always themed; consider picking up "brick boxes" to supplement your sets, or a play table to provide an empty canvas for imaginative creations.
Mega Bloks also offers building tables and mixed bags of building blocks, but we also love their Probuilder sets, which may include vehicle building sets or a pit stop for your race cars. Mega Bloks appeals to the youngest builders as well with their larger Build 'N Discover sets.
Possibly the best selection of building tables comes from KidKraft, each of which includes deep storage drawers and LEGO-compatible surfaces -- which means their also compatible with most other brick-style building blocks. We particularly like their 2-in-1 activity table, which comes with a 30-piece train set and a 200-piece block set, plus a reversible play board tabletop.
K'Nex (which you'll also want to shop for as Knex, since not all stores are aware of the correct spelling), produces some very imaginative building sets, including their very cool motorized Moto-Bots with interchangeable parts. K'Nex is the creator of Lincoln Logs, and they also have a remarkable challenge with their rod-and-pin Double Ferris Wheel set.
One of our favorite brands is Erector, which has a large number of motorized model sets and robots at excellent prices. We do recommend a beginner set or two before moving on to the more complex sets, to avoid frustration. These are challenging, but well worth the time and patience required to build them.
