They are a little pricy but one of our child's favorites.
LEGO and LEGO Duplo is a good choice too.
We used to do science nights too, with simple experiments, answering your child's questions about anything, how does this work, etc.
Once they are a little older Lego Mindstorms (Robotics) are great, check out Lego First Lego League, we coached a team for a few years, great experience.
- japhyr 7y agoI came here to recommend magna-tiles. My son is 9 now, and he still plays with them on a regular basis, and his friends do as well when they come over. He knows what a cube looks like spread out in two dimensions, and a number of other shapes as well. They're just plain fun to play with they, make a really satisfying sound as they snap together, and it's not a big deal when your creation collapses every once in a while. A simple microscope is amazing to a young kid as well.
