Following on from my blog on Engineering Toys for 3 and 4 year olds, I’ve decided to do one for slightly older children, so here are 10 engineering toys or games that would suit 5 and 6 year olds.
Clever Up! 2.0 is a 66 piece wooden construction set. It comes with lots of different shaped wooden pieces and encourages open ended play as your child constructions different buildings each time.
3D Creative Stones is an arranging game with 28 colourful wooden blocks. Copy the designs in the book or make your own patterns and shapes.
The Boppi Jumbo Marble Run can be configured in lots of different ways so that the marble runs from the top to the bottom.
Use the wooden magnetic pieces to recreate the images on the cards using the magnetic case. This Magnetic Pattern Toy allows your child to think outside the box as the create their own images too.
This tough board play set involves pushing out the pieces and slotting them together to make Savannah animals.
This set of colourful plastic octons can slot together in lots of different angles, allowing your child to create some amazing 3D shapes.
This pack of wooden pieces comes with wood glue and stickers.
This woodwork project is easy enough for 5 and 6 year olds to manage.
This Magnetic Patterns Set is more conducive to patterns than images in comparison to the one featured above.
Learn the art of basic paper folding with this set of Origami Fortune Tellers. I also stock a pastel version.
I hope this blog has inspired you to think of some engineering toys that might suit your children.
