Buying good, educational toys for your kids and grandkids doesn't have to break the bank. Look online for deals in cheap Legos and other house building games like it. It doesn't matter if you are buying for boys or girls, all kids love Legos. If you get the simple sets of toy bricks, the kids can spend hours creating houses and towns and filling them with Lego people.
They do make pink Legos, if you wanted to get something decidedly girly as a gift. Some of the girl-branded Legos feature horses and fashion. But Legos for girls doesn't have to mean the color pink and horses. You can get your little girl a pirate themed Lego set and watch her have fun playing the pirate queen. Or take one of the standard Castle Lego sets and the "rescued" princess becomes the rescuer!
House building games appeal to both boys and girls. You can help the younger ones with their play. Help them build a house and add a fence and then create a story! You can do all of that with used Legos. You don't need brand new bricks for play. There are bags of toy bricks for sale online. You can buy small sets of used accessories and buy a new set of, say, Hagrid's Hut, as the main present. That lets the child have a new present to open and enjoy, and the supplemental batch of toy brick is ready at hand.
The story lines that Legos, in particular, presents are great. Your child can spend hours living the adventures of Luke Skywalker or the rescue squad, or SpongeBob. This means that you, as the adult, can join in the play, but you don't have to. The Legos come preloaded, if you will, for hours of play. Later, when he or she is tired of reenacting the stories from the movies or shows, you can help them create new stories and adventures for their toys.
Depending on your child's inclination, maybe the stories are secondary to the excitement of creating new things. Legos, or any of the toy brick lines, can be made into thousands and thousands of items. From ray guns to bridges to skyscrapers, there is no limit.
The interchangeable bricks are what make the Lego brand and other similar companies so popular. Take your old pirate Legos and add them to the new Hogwarts set you just bought and you have a whole new story for Harry Potter to star in! There is something so satisfying about the snap as one toy brick locks with another and knowing that bricks from 20 years ago will work with the set you just bought. Of course your Legos will not work very well with Mega Bloks or PlayMobile, but if you stay within the same toy brick line, you will be fine.
Introduce your child to a new world - a world limited only by how many Legos you have! Help them harness the creative powers within them to make stories and structures that will yield months and months of play.
