Creative Construction ToysEveryone knows about Lego, K'Nex and the like, but what of other creative construction toys? Although not as famous as the market leaders, there are several high-quality construction toys available that can provide hours of fascination and fun for children of all ages.Apart from the obvious entertainment aspect, construction toys play a very important role in the development of a child's motor skills, mental agility and ingenuity. Whereas Lego and K'Nex can be very fiddly and frustrating for small hands, other creative construction toys such asWebbys andClics can be more easily used, and so provide a much more satisfying play experience for the child.In this guide, we are going to describe these two toys in more detail, and show how they can provide a powerful, yet entertaining development toy for your child.ClicsDeveloped by a Belgian company, Clics have taken the USA and Europe by storm. They are not well known in the UK at present, but that is set to change now that they are more easily available here.Designed specifically for younger children, Clics are suitable for both boys and girls from age 3, but will continue to provide immense play value for many years after that. We have known many adults spend hours playing with Clics when the kids have gone to bed!The main Clics pieces are square, with clips on all four sides, enabling them to be clicked onto other Clics pieces at any angle. This allows for the construction of amazing models, from the very simple to the impressively complicated.
