When I was growing up, in ancient times, blocks and building toys were my favorites. One time my folks gave me an erector set and, my, how the days sailed past as I had fun building things. Mine even had a transformer and a motor and I was able to build a lift and other movable things that were very fun. Good Hub. Don White

Great hub. There is just no video or computer game substitute for the kind of skills development kids get from using their hands playing with building toys.
