This classic canister of goodies is back on the market, proving to parents that simple, vintage toys can cause just as much excitement and learning as any high-tech game. This set features 102 large wooden spools, connectors, and brightly colored dowels--let your child's imagination do the rest. Kids have a blast building props and structures out of these pieces, such as lollipops, ice cream cones, balloons, and microphones. The wooden manipulatives are also great for fine motor skills practice. Why is this game so well-remembered? Because when you reach adulthood you realize all great projects start with a bit of tinkering around! (Hasbro, $26.99)
