But every little ladies and gentlemen may not like drawing tools. There are many interesting gifts which can be given to a kid on his / her birthday.

Little Timmy imagines himself an engineer. He often shows his skills on his own toys, especially electronics one. Sometimes he also ventures to modify his elder sister’s toys which often results in violent civil wars. To please Timmy I gave him a construction box for kids on his birthday. This box has many plastic made parts to build something constructive. There are small tools to please the mini engineers too.

There are many types of construction tools available in the market. Some of which are for little kids and some are for elder groups.
